A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
I guess I would take a nice frozen swamp to hunt in. They're usually a good place to be when you have a windy day. Not many cottontails up here, and the snowshoes love a good swamp.

Anywhere cover is thick enough to hide a bunny. Mostly briar thickets and serecia(spl) grasses on old strip jobs. Honeysuckle thickets are good also. Not as many scratches though.

Anything thick and full of nasty briars! Swamps are preferred! But, fence rows and pine tree farms are a nice change to give the dogs a little break from the thick stuff and let them really burn up the rabbit without getting bloody.
Depends on what I am running. I like the swampy areas for snowshoes (preferably in winter when they are frozen) and thick brushy wooded areas for cottontails. When I was in MO, we primarily ran in open fields with good cover. Briars, serecia grass, multiflora rose... that kind of stuff.
