a good hunt your granddad had woulda like to have been along with him...charlie

Looks like he was able to buy more than one shell. I remember when we could buy any number we wanted for a few cents, Remember that?

Mike,

I am planning to take my dogs Hannah and Ranger (Long-haired Daschund/Basset Mix and Beagle/Basset mix respectively) out on President's day for our first rabbit hunt. My wife Betsy is going. They aren't trained rabbit dogs, but it's in the blood and they go crazy chasing bunnies and deer. My Parker 10 Gauge E #2 hammer gun is too heavy, so I'll take my Winchester 101 20 Gauge. Any tips are appreciated. Glad to see other rabbit hunters out there.

Hey Noel that sounds like a great hunt you have planned. Lugging that 10 ga around would get tiresome. Here's a tip... when the rabbit jumps and the dogs give chase stay put where you are. Rabbits run in a circle and the dogs will bring it back to you. Pray they don't get on a deer. Deer will run a long ways off with a dog after them. I know hunters who have lost dogs to deer chases. Most beaglers I know use shock collars to control that. Keep us posted.

George Davis the reason you don't seen rabbit dogs in Southern Illinois anymore is there aren't any rabbits. You could hunt in good country with a pair of good dogs and maybe never get a run down there these days. I saw about the last of the decent rabbit hunting with my Cousin Mark's pack of dogs in the late 80's when I was in high school.
