Awesome post, love the pics! I’ve never had the chance to hunt rabbits with beagles but I grew up in Oklahoma in the 90’s hunting bobwhites with my dad. He had Brittanies and GSPs. I now live in NW NM and have hounds that I hunt lions and bears with. There’s not much better than watching a well trained dog do their job.

Nice pics and all . BUT you got rabbits climbing trees? That one pic looks like a bunny tree. Lot of memories there.
Them sure are some big (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) rabbits !!!

There aren't enough coyotes here to matter to my beagle, I think the night vision guys have them wiped back pretty well here.

I almost always carry an Ithaca double barrel 16 when the brush chaps go on. My favorite shotgun I own, hands down.

We have some Ithaca shotguns too left to my husband from his stepdad. The 16 ga pump is lightweight and easy for me to carry. It is a special piece

You need to bring those dogs down hear to MO. My uncle always had good rabbit dogs when we where kids. If I where to get a dog would be a beagle.

Great pictures of your family and friend hunts. Thanks for sharing Bruce. I wish I had taken more photos over the years.

I have a picture from when I was 13 were a freind and I were posing with 27 cottontails. We knew better but oh well kids will do dumb stuff. Don't think I should post it though. We did the same with trout. Glad to say we grew up and got responsible.

Bruce, your dogs look very much like the Branko beagles I used to run and raise. Are they of Branko genetics? I had 27 beagles I started champion out. I used to sell a lot of well started and some finished dogs. I loved doing it, but I hurt my knee and back and had to stop.

These are not Branko but Meechum bred out of Michigan.I have run alot of Branko bred beagles back years ago in my younger days.
