Feels like home

[Riverbottom]

I hunt a pack of beagles on snowshoe hare, about as far from big game hunting as you can get. I've hunted about everything there is to hunt with a hound at one time or another. In my younger days I practicaly lived in the woods at night with a coon dog.


But for pure hunting with hounds, I found it's hard to beat sitting in the woods at night listening to a dozen beagles running a hare all around you. No driving around talking on the radio, no competition hunts with lots of big egos, just making a hare run for it's life and being right in the middle of it.

We get winter, and the hunting gets tough. Then it's pure hound work, one or two of the best you have trying to keep the run alive and going.

I visit lots of beagle boards, but I just don't have much in common with those folks. About the only place I fit in is on The Hunted Hare with NorWester, Pete and Bryan from Ireland. I don't much care for killing game with a gun, it never did anything for me. It just don't seem fair to shoot the hare if the hounds aren't good enough to catch it.

I been reading this board for a while and I realized I'm more like you guys than any rabbit hunters. I was thinkin there weren't many real houndsmen left anymore. Guess I was just lookin in the wrong place

Welcome to the site,

This was posted in the Bobcat area, so I went ahead and moved this topic to the "other' hunting section. those bobcat guys are a pretty finacky punch.. You sure don't want to get mixed in with them..

Awe now Buddyw, are we really that bad. I thought we would have to go some to be as Bad as say the Lion Hunters!

Glad to see a Fellow Hound Hunter of any kind on here! Hope you enjoy BGH as much as Dad and I!

Good Running to All!

[Doogie]

first deer dogs last week and now another beagler, what's next coyote hunters, last time I checked is said BIGGAMEHOUNDSMEN.com, no wonder everyone has other sites their more involved in nowdays, this used to be THE BEST biggame site, now it just full of "undedicated" snow hunters with nothing better to do.

FYI you guys do know there's a running dogs forum down at the bottom of the main page don't you? that way us "undedicated" guys don't have pick thru the running dog BS

And to awnser the question before someone asks, yes, someone did piss in my wheaties today

[beaglewalkerhunter4]

this guy, new to the site, comes on and tells about himself and how this is the site that suites, him and you go and say sometihng like that. If he was a newbie to hounds, you could of turned his head away from the sport entierly. hound hunters are far and few between as it is. maybe you should keep comments such as that to yourself or in private with buddy.

[beaglewalkerhunter4]

and FYI you do know this in the "other hunting" forum right?

[Doogie]

actualy it dosent belong here like I said

Other Hunting
A place to talk about Deer/Elk Hunting and any other BigGame or Small game hunting Without dogs.

cry me a river, last time I checked NJ dident have any big game hound seasons either, theres alsorts of forums for you beaglers. this is a BIGGAME site, this isnt another COONDAWGS

[Riverbottom]

When I got the bill for those last three pallets of dog food I thought I must be pretty dedicated

So anyway, the other day when we was running coyotes...

[beaglewalkerhunter4]

then why dont you take that up with buddy because he moved his post here. Sorry i cant controll where I live this is where my dads job is so this is where Iam. and why dont you go and cry me a river your the one making who was cryin about about this in the first place. Riverbottom glad to have you on the site any hunting with hounds is good enough for me. Doogie, good hunting to you my friend.

[Riverbottom]

Thanks guys. The picture is of Snap, a little treeing walker female I had out of Hardwood Swamp, sorry I didn't make that very clear. She was little but she also had speed to burn and a great big, deep bawl mouth locate that would send chills down your spine. But that's a coon dog story...

Grizz, I probably had 8 or 10 beagles down in that night running video.

[Grizzly_Adams]

nice yeah i could tell its more than im used to but at most we have 5 running and the last 2 years it has been more like 3 cause one of our partners doesn't bring his out much (doesn't really matter he doesn't hunt much any way) and one of my pops bitches is always in heat right during deer season and im not leaven mine home so she stays
