I was able to tag along with a courser in Nebraska about 25 years ago. It was a rush watching those dogs take off after a coyote. They caught 3 of the 8 coyotes chased up. The country was a bit too broken up to be perfect coursing country but it was much more open than here.
After seeing this I worked a bit with the neighbor's Italian Greyhound to take rabbits. The dog didn't catch many but it sure had a lot of fun trying.
