Rabbits, Rabbits and more Rabbits

Give him a gun season if he still lacks it.

Time to move him on.

I hate it for you, but if he lacks now, I doubt he will ever hunt real good. Just my 3 cents.

try taking him to a running pen and letting him run all night BY HIMSELF.

He might be used to having another hound always jump the rabbit for him when he was young.

good luck,

Give him a few weeks to get accustomed to you. Sometimes the change in location will upset a dog. By hunting season, if he hasn't become a more aggressive hunter, you will have a decision to make.
