[QUOTE="Mud Creek, post: 5526522, member: 13378"] I spent basically my whole life rabbit hunting with beagles. My grandaddy, dad, uncles, cousins, all did it. If I could make a living being a houndsman I would make good money. It's in the blood! Always loved rabbit hunting and evaluating dogs. Field Trials and judging them were usually fun also. Sadly I have lost every single piece of private land I once had permission to hunt. Clean farming and deer leases killed it. There are no shortages of WMA's but getting to a spot and seeing it loaded with hunters then turning around and going home is no fun. I'm down to just 2 running dogs, they were born here and earned their spot so they will die here. After they go, as bad as I hate to say it I might just hang it up and never own another unless my daughter wants to be involved with them. Definitley a family tradition that I hate to see die, but I use to train dogs 7 days a week, and I dont even get them out that many times a month now. Sucks. I will say this, I would trade every single rabbit hunting memory I have, & every bit of knowledge on the subject I learned along the way in exchange for being raised in a duck hunting environment by real deal duck hunters. Thread derailment is over, sorry. It's not often I hear a person say they'd rather rabbit hunt with dogs lol [/QUOTE]
