A Beagle on a rabbit is a wonderful sound. Great times. I harvested my first bunny that was chased to me from my Uncles beagle in Pennsylvania.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

I need to try gun hunting rabbits with a beagle. I've only ever done it with a hawk (falconry) which is a whole different game. My beagle now is a house pet, not a hunter like his predecessor, that needs to change.

I am sure your dog would pick it up quite fast with a little time in the field.

looks like beagles and a hawk would be a blast. how open of an area do you need to use a hawk? lots of the areas we run in are pretty thick.

It's pretty awesome. You really don't need a very open area. Since the hawks have the altitude they can strike in pretty small openings. Depending on the hawk (aggressiveness/weight) and the overhead cover thickness they can crash through brush pretty well.

ran on sunday and had a quick race and a dead rabbit in the end, weather was cold(18-20 degrees)dogs had a hard time pushing the rabbits out, by noon it warmed up to 25-26 degrees and they could keep on the next rabbit for a 2 hour run before we pulled them off.seen the rabbit 3 times and he was moving!
