The American Beagler Forum

I have mine on concrete and would never go back to anything else. The only thing you need to do is make sure you put a smooth finish on it. No broom finish I heard of a guy putting a broom finish on his and it cut his dogs pads up pretty bad and he had to tear it out and re do it. I just bull floate...

One of the best snow dog I ever seen was a 1/2 beagle 1/2 walker. It had the body of a beagle and the legs of a walker probably 19 or 20 inches tall and it could flat out haul on a hare. I've heard of some guys breeding them for hare in northern michigan years ago. You might try looking into that.

Seen a couple over a month ago now.

Its been said many times on this board that people don't have places to hunt anymore. Well I to have lost places to hunt but finding new places to hunt is easy, that is after the deer seasons are over. All you have to do is go ask people. There are lots of land owners that hate rabbits they get in t...

I think there are a lot less people hunting with beagles than there use to be. When I was a kid everybody had a beagle we used them for whatever we were hunting for bird hunting, rabbit hunting, heck I use to take my beagle coon hunting when I was a kid. I don't hardly know anybody anymore that has ...

Yesterday was one of the worst days running hare I've had in a while. Took two hours to get one goin in a spot that I don't think I've ever had to wait more than 10 or 15 minutes. Once they got it goin they had a hard time with it real slow goin they lost it after about half hour. Had one other run ...

Had one I would of sworn was deer proof never ran one until 7 or 8 years old. She had a wounded deer jump up right in front of her, blood all over in snow and on the deers side, I guess it was to much to resist. That was the only one she ran in 13 seasons. I have a 4 1/2 year old now that has never ...

I found a website with snow depths all around the state. http://www.infomi.com/snowmobile_trail_reports/Snow_Depth.php?element=snowdepth. It doesn't have harrison listed but it shows 18 inches in gladwin. I think I am going to head up by mio they are only showing 10 inches. I waded around in close t...

I haven't heard what its like around harrison but I did hear the further north you go the less snow there is. I was thinkin about headin that way this weekend too if I can find someone to go with me. I haven't run hare in almost 2 months and I'm gettin the itch.

I was out running yesterday, while I was standin there waiting for the dogs to get something started I noticed that the crows where goin nuts I looked up and there was a bald eagle circling right above my dogs, he was only tree top high and I saw him circle twice before he took off. My dogs are smal...

I've had luck using lettuce to catch them. Tractor supply sells a rabbit bait you might want to try.

I don't agree with that reguest but I have a 2 year old male that is fixed. I couldn't tell one bit of difference in him after he was fixed. He runs just the same as he did before. The vet told me he might gain alitte weight but if any thing he lost weight looks just the same as he did before. Its b...

hd ultra the reason training season was changed from july 15 to july 8 was because of bear hunters that hunt over bait complaining to the dnr about the bear hunters running bear with dogs. The dnr put in a week long quiet period in effect prior to the opening of the first bear season so after the hu...
