Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Cottontails on turkey day

Haven’t had a beagle dog in many years, but thankfully dad volunteered to be the dog for Butch and I today. So I dug 2 of the 20s outta the safe and off we went.

Dad kicked out 4, we killed 2. Although we have 6 dogs already, this makes me really contemplate adding a beagle to the mix again.

Hope everyone is enjoying turkey day, but it appears we’re having rabbit instead 😜

good for you & your dad but next time you be the dog

Man, I miss rabbit hunting with my Dad. Enjoy yours while you can.

Just to be clear cause I know it’s misleading. Dad ain’t in the pic. That’s my Muskie fishing buddy Butch... dads on the camera lol


Funny. We always had beagle dogs growing up, dad always bought me a gun of some sort for Christmas, birthdays etc. but in the 28years I’ve been alive I’ve never seen him pack a gun on a hunt. Deer, rabbits etc. he’s always there. But never as a shooter.

Not many cottontails it seems.. But they are fun..

Nice! I’m holding out for deer season to wind down and hopefully some snow before I started pounding the thickets. Love me some rabbit hunting.

Only rabbit hunted a couple times with dogs but it sure is fun.
