I ve got him!!!!! Catch him last night.I first seen this rabbit this summer about half grown.I will do my best to find someone to put pic on here.Catch him about 5 hundred yds away from were he was raised at.The men that's older than me saw it today and said they never seen one and it was something to see it real.I ve catch into the thousand of rabbits over the 43 years of trapping an this is my first an maybe my last.Today is a good day for rabbitearl.

I am going to take pic of this rabbit and tonight turn him out in pen 7 so we can injoy seeing him crossing the path with some good old beagles running him.Yall I am so happy :D :D :D :D :-o :-o :-o and :shock: :shock: :shock:

Likeem, You need to improve on your basic knowledge and move on up the ranks a little. Houndsmen would like to add you to their ranks! I am looking forward to the day I can say welcome aboard my friend.

That rabbit is a beauty. I know running woods rabbits sometimes that they have a red back, but I have never seen one like that. My buddy that farms locally said the guy that was mowing his grain ran a solid white one out of a big field. We have not seen it since.
