I got out of rabbit hunting in the early 90's. My father and I had one heck of a team of begals back in the day. I hunt deer and turkey mainly now days. Once deer season is over i go on a few rabbit hunts with friends. We now have a pet , half basset/begal. At 4 months old he ran a rabbit that was in our yard. I did not think much of it. Well for what ever reason the last few weekend i cant get friends locked down to go rabbit hunting. So sunday morning I get the urge to go. I catch family pet who is now a year old. We head over to my lease property. Im thinking this lazy mut will not even go in a thicket. He hits the tickets and starts hunting like crazy. He starts to whine around , im thinking yea im going to have to go out in the briars and get him. Next think i know he barks and the race is on. I saw rabbit cross rd 50 yds above me less than a min later mr bunny is 10 yds in front of me. I take aim and get him. While my dog is sounding off like a fog horn closeing in fast. I was pumped more than when I killed a drop tine 8 during deer season. Not bad for a pet.
