Ive had beagles for 31 years dont think id ever be without one.Can be tough to housebreak some but make great house dogs when you get a good one and seems to make them handle better in the woods.

Do you run them with tracking collars or shock collars?  Seems like every couple times out I end up loosing one for a while...

I run a shock collar on them just in case but havent needed a tracking collar on them.i only have one right now and shes a house dog and listens really well.I have had a couple deer problems with her but think i cured her of it.A few guys i know use tracking collars on theres but they are real wide hunting dogs used mostly on hare.I keep mine within 100 yards when shes hunting so i can keep track of her.A bell works great if you can find one that doesnt get plugged up with snow all the time..

I put a bell and a blaze orange collar on them, and that has helped quite a bit.  It seems when I'm running two and have to keep track of both is when I get into trouble.  I think the shock collar will do the trick.  They are both house dogs, but they get a little starry-eyed once they get into the bunnies!

Some just tend to work deeper than others it depends on the dog.I only keep one know because a pair will usually run deeper and tend to get in more trouble. A lot of the new shockers have a warning buzzer on them thats great for teaching a dog to come in when you tone them.Just be sure to condition the dog to the collar and only use it in a controlled environment till you see how theyre gonna react.The dog i have know just freaks when you shock her and takes off.She will stop what shes doing but you wont catch her for hours if your lucky..Shock collars are great tools when used correctly but have screwed up way more dogs than they have helped..

Have fun, good rabbit spots are hard to come by these days, when I was a youngster there seemed to be many more bunnies.

Great time of the year, you will almost have the woods to yourself.  The hardwater is another story.
