What a morning to run swamp rabbits

Post by Dunbar Family Kennel »

I would just to share a little about my running this morning on swamp rabbits.I turned my dogs out about 6:45 this morning,one of my females jump and the race was on,they ran a straight line about 1/4 mile just hammering it.Finally they crossed the road.They would run about 1/4 of a mile,and then come back.They made this trip 5 times i was starting to get worried they were running a deer.So they were starting to get close to me so i walked towards them,and i saw a little deer in front of me it took off running,so i started yelling out the dogs,i caught everying thing but two of them the went around,they were heading towards the road,just as i got to the road i saw the biggest swamp rabbit i every seen before cross,and the two other dogs just hammering.I turned the other dogs out again,and the race was on.I ran that swamp rabbit from about 6: 45 to about 10:30 this morning.I was so glad my dogs was not running that deer :D .Anyone that wants to run swamp rabbits in arkansas just let me know.

I would rather run swampers as cottom tail, just for that reason. They run similar to hare. I am haveing a lot of pop up runs
because of the little ones.When they do hang a grown one the race is on.Maybe some time I could come run with you. My mom was born in Manila.
