To many rabbits
Have you ever ran in place where there were so many rabbits that the dogs could not keep the same one going? I ran three dogs today and at one time I saw 6 rabbits at the same time. The dogs would be working one rabbit and then hit a different track and work that and so on and so on. It made for very poor running. It was snowing so hard that a track got covered up pretty quick and I think the dogs just ran the hottest track at the place they were at the time. I am going to hunt this place a little an thin down some of the rabbits. A great place to start a young dog though.

beaglehandler,,,,,,,,,,,i have a place about a half acre,,,,,,,,last year keith my self and 2 boys ran there, we had 21 rabbits come out of this thicket,,,seems dogs would jump one the jump another then another,,,,it was really confusing to the dogs early last year around feb there was a 16 acre patch with nothing but buck brush,,,,,,,,,the dogs would be hammering a rabbit and we would stand on a hill and you could actually see rabbits running every where looked like goffers in the western plains but they planted it all but this half acre so we are gonna thin it out tomorrow,,,,,,,,

I had a spot like that but it has been "thinned down" too much.
Best I heard yet was my cousin went to Kansas for pheasant and they pushed a wide fence row and he lost count at 30 on the rabbits that came out the end.I can't imagine a pack of dogs in that situation but would enjoy "thinning it down" 


ALRIGHT! I'm going to have to call all ya'll liars
!! Not because I think your liars, I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE ME ALONG SO I CAN 'WITNESS' IT!
LOL I would love to find something like that!

I ran the same place today and lost dogs in the snow drifts. The runs looked like the OJ car chase that was seen on TV. Snow was so deep that rabbits and dogs had a hard time running. One rabbit ran to the fence and I think ran under the snow that was piled up. A bad of running dogs beats any day a work.
