Nice pics. Do you run into any problems with coyotes going after your beagles? My friend had 2 beagles killed by coyotes when he was running cottontails here in Nj. One time so far.

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.

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. Bet that's fun runnng lions and bear with hounds.

I hunted rabbits my entire life until I got all crippled up. Beagles are the greatest dog s alive in my opinion. I still have my old Ithaca 37 16ga and my old 16ga double. Those were the days. Amen Bra!

Amen Bra! 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. Might be bringing them to Kansas in the future 2 to 3 years from now.

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.
Keith 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.
