I hang up my rabbit hunting hat during deer rifle and muzzleloader season. Any trigger happy person out there could shoot and then tell me that my hounds were running deer. I can't take the chance! Unfortunate, but safe.

Great looking pups!! Love the tan & white coloring!

Thanks guys! I am very happy with, shows the most potential of any pup I've had yet. Yes, he has strong Branko about 3 & 4 generations back. He's also got some Woodstock, Warsaw and Alder Creek in him.

Here are some pictures of opening day here in Vermont (September 29th). This is the first hare my pup ran for the day and the first hare I have ever shot in front of him! I hunted with my 15 year old brother, Logan. My pup traveled a total of 14.6 miles for the day. http://i266.photobucket.com/album...

I have only owned 4 hounds over the course of 6 years, but have seen 3 different types of hunts. To me I feel I have had dogs that had "good hunt", "hunt", and a "cherry picker". I had a pup that I trained to get in the brush piles and thick balsams. Over time she wouldn't walk by one without going ...

When I talk with a land owner that is balking due to too many hunters or deer hunters in general I make sure to tell them when I would like to run. In Vermont we can run rabbits starting June 1st, start hunting them in late September and it ends in mid March. If a land owner has concerns about the d...

I bought the 220 wih DC40 collars at the same one as a friend of mine. The night I received them I updated all of the software on both the 220 and the collars. My buddy did not, and still hasn't. I never lose communication with my hounds and he loses comm. a lot! If you haven't updated both the 220 ...

Thanks! I felt the same way but wasn't sure if everyone's experience out there would tell me different. Wasn't sure if I left it up to them that the dominate dog would try and claim all three boxes for herself and still be just as bad. I will be ready to divide them if I need too. Thanks again.

I am building a new setup for my dogs this spring, a 12'x16' shed on the side of their 13'x13' kennel. I have two dogs in the kennel but plan on making three dog boxes inside the shed as I will have the room. Right now my 12 year old and 5 year old females share the same house in the kennel and figh...

Can you show me pictures of the inside of the shed? I am building a shed with the dog houses inside it and am looking for some ideas of how others have theirs setup.

Thanks,
Ryan

Does anyone know where I could buy some San Juan rabbits (or other puppy pen rabbits) near Vermont?

Thank you,
