Weather plays no role in whether we go or not, and we ALWAYS run rabbits. We can run rabbits when many people dont bother going. May not be the prettiest thing, but we can run and kill rabbits in any weather I've seen so far. I never said weather plays no role in HOW the dogs run. Anyone who says ru...

interesting response. I was just responding that we dont watch the weather forcasts to decide to hunt or not. We go, and we run rabbits, rain, snow, sleet, ice, dust, wind... doesnt matter. Sorry, I should add, KILL rabbits so there is no debate about backtracking and cold trailing. Anyone who tells...

You could always get a couple med speed started dogs from Tony for a good price. Most of his are on the slower end of what we run (from what I've seen) but he sells well started dogs at a very fair price. Randy will have stuff for sale a little steppier than tony but nowhere near what your running n...

His A pack is WELL above medium, but is not LP speed, and his B pack is UPPER medium, too fast and loose for SPO. He sells me and my hunting group dogs that are too conservative for him, and we run UBGF style dogs, which to many is medium. We've hunted together for a couple years now. Your right, he...

I too am in the auto industry, I am a sales trainer for one of the domestics. The problem I see with all this debate is: The cost savings arent even justified spending $5000 more on a hybrid vehicle, and you get a tax writeoff with them! 10mpg more and .30 a gallon makes a slight difference ($300 a ...

if your talking about putting a trailer on a car.... just about any trailer out there will go where a car can go... Put a pencil to the gas prices and your gas mileage... Unless your driving 25,000 miles a year, your not looking at much difference. 2.50 a gallon, 20 miles per gallon = .125 a mile 3....

if you go on espo board, I know rhunt1 (randy pinkleton) runs 2 different packs all season long. He runs 2 packs of 12 dogs each. He runs a fast pack and a upper medium pack. He'll hunt them 1/2 a day each, 5 days a week. If you've never hunted with him, that man hunts HARD!!!! I'm in good shape and...

nice pics... question... next to the last photo, person on bottom left, wheres the rest of his gun?

VERY interesting question. To me, I want a dog to run his/her own rabbit, BUT, I will not put 2 or more dogs in a pack that are different speeds. If you run a dog that is a full step or more faster than the rest, its going to mess them all up. To me, I want a dog to run their own rabbit, to an exten...

makes sense. I'll make sure I look into it before I buy one though!

For those of you in Va. I was told the other day that the Thompson Contender .410 or any shotgun in a "pistol" were illegal in virginia. Apparently there is a minimum barrel size for all shotguns in this state. Anyone know for sure? I want to get a pistol for next season, but sure dont want to visit...

gus, i've seen more rabbits sitting around at night than I do racoons and opossums! They are more likely to get run at night than in the day. A beagle will run what it smells, as long as it is allowed to run it. If someone wants to train on fox and run the risk of the dog running it during a trial, ...

enclosures have fox and deer too! A beagle club in va killed 14 fox in their rabbit pen last year alone. rabbit population is fine, but fox get in too! I see deer tracks in there everytime I go and run. Good thing is, I dont have to worry about it!

ahhh, i needed that!

Thanks for posting

Many of you were talking about the name plates on collars... YES always have a name plate on the collar, BUT those name plates are not hard to remove. I suggest everyone take a permanent marker and write name and phone number inside the collar itself. If it wears off, write it again. Yes, someone wa...
