My 4 1/2 year old beagle Polly is really starting to figure out running rabbits. It helps that our little 15 acre woodlot was logged a few years back to make for some excellent cover and a lot more bunnies than in years past.
Well, it just so happens that Polly ran poor Bugs right into me today.

I was using my Tall Tines with 40# limbs I bought in the Trad Gang classifieds. The arrow was a legitimate "rabbit" arrow as it came from the 5 gallon bucket full of cast-offs that I keep saving for this purpose. Just a .38 Special case crammed onto a field point.

Love beagles

Nice looking beagle! I've got 3. Now I'm motivated to get them out running.
-
Good job! I went out last Friday with a friend and his beagle. We got three bunnies, a pheasant and a grouse with shotguns.
Next trip out I am going to ask if he minds if I use my Leon Stewart.

Thanks guys. The shooting part was made MUCH easier due to the fact that the rabbit stopped VERY close. I was pretty excited to pull it off, none the less. Takes a lot of luck to be in the right place but it helps to have hunted this spot a lot and have an idea where the bunnies want to go when jumped.
-
Great Shot,and a tasty dinner to boot.Nice dog!
-
That is a fun sport. I'm looking forward to our annual rabbit excursion in Feb.
-
Wow! Congrats! Great shooting!

fire up the BBQ! :campfire:

Love the bunny's and beagles. Have one old gal that still comes along but can't keep up with Mickey. Mickey will get in the thick stuff and get them out. Congrats on the bunny.

I lost my beagle this past July. He was my deer tracker, but he was a rabbit dog at heart. Everytime I took him out and gave him permission to run bunnies he was super excited. He was the best one-dog-show I've ever hunted. Here he is with the last deer he ever found for me.
