The American Beagler Forum

15 days till Gun-Season starts here In missouri.

Lets hear it. Who is doing what this season. Give us the scoop.



As for me. I've got a couple new dogs that will be joining me and the gang this season. We'll see how they perform as it will be their first ever gun-season. Also joining me will be the original gang of beagles that has traveled north south east and west all over these missouri hi-ways to put them bunnies on the move!!!!

I'm going to keep looking for new places to hunt. Try a few area's that I've never hunted before. Also I'd like to introduce a few new people to rabbit hunting and I've got a couple youth rabbit hunts in the works and I hope we get enough youths/help to make it happen.

Going to try and get more filming of my hunts with the help of my good friends, wouldn't happen with out them guys. Looking forward to many hunts with them this season. I promise it'll be an adventure.

So here's to all my gun-hunters out there waiting for opening day as I do every season. Keep that barrel hot let the lead fly and stack em high and be safe out there.

Chomping at the bit here Joey.Generally only shot a couple during the first part of the season just to tune up for when it gets cold.Just got back from running this morning and could have harvested a couple today had the season been in.Keep those videos coming as they are very entertaining.You sure have a talent for it.Planning on one of my grandsons to get hunting this year as he likes to go when we run.

Me and my son are ready to go. Been runnning the dogs 2-3 times a week right now. Season does not open here until November 13th. we have one young dog that will be his first season. The rest are returning from last season. I hope to do some videoing this year as well. My son shot his first rabbit last year and now he is hooked.

Michigan opened up today. I normally don't shoot any for a while. I donate a bunch to a wild game dinner that raises money for the troops. We have an early doe season coming up tomorrow on private land until the 20th, then a youth season from the 21st til the 24th, then a youth and 100% disabled veterans from the 25th til the 26th, then bow season on Oct 1st. til Nov 14th, then firearm from Nov 15th til the 30th, then archery from Dec 1st til Jan 1st with muzzleloading thrown in there along the way.This means we'll be dodging deer hunters for quite awhile.

Joey, I'm trying to make an SPO trial at North Central Ohio on Sept. 26th and a large pack on hare trial at Eastern U.P. on Oct. 3rd. I figure I will try a little bowhunting through the month of Oct. I generally don't shoot rabbits until we get our first good frost. My boy really wants to kill his first rabbit this season. He learned gun safety last season, I made him carry his single shot 410 around unloaded last season. He learned quickly and is chomping at the bit to hunt with me this year!

I have been ready for a while Joey. Been trying to run as much as I can to get mine ready.

I checked your website out. That is some nice dogs there. When are you going to hook a Georgia boy up with one of them Missouri rabbit hunts.

Wish ours started soon........We have to wait until November 1!!!! Kentucky needs to rethink this start date!

Just a waiting here in Missouri. We will be looking for a few swampers. We will be taking few pups along with Luke my grandson (8 years old) to bust the brush. We are going fish gigging on Current River tonight. Today is opening day for gigging. Hope to get a bunch of suckers to fry.

First season with my new pack, so I am anxiously waiting for 11/20 to get started.

Either way can not waite, and have safe season!!!!!

i can hardly beleave that it is already hear time flys hope my pups can keep up with joeys pack

I have been taking the first day of rabbit season off for as long as I can remember. I spend the first day hunting with my family. Can't wait.

I am just looking foward to the weather change!! I am not a huge gun hunter but I kill several for the young dogs yearly. I just don't have the places to kill the amount of rabbits that some of you boys do without feeling that I am damaging my running grounds. I may cuss the young rabbits but darn happy to see them!!! If I had more places I would prob. gun hunt a little more but man am I looking ahead to cooler temps and good running if someone lets me borrow a dog lol

Not till November 5th in Indiana!!! too long.... I am going to try coyote this year though to pass the time.

Here! Joey how long does rabbit season run in MO?
