Reading about Zeddicus's hare hunt brings back sweet memories of my younger days.  For 25 years I raised, sold and field trialed beagles. I hunted rabbits in 9 states with some of the best beaglers around.  About once a year we would get a group of guys together and take our dogs over to the outer banks of NC and camp and hunt the rabbits that inhabited the sand dunes and reed beds.  I seem like we would kill as many nutria's as we would rabbits.  Look them up, they have a beaver body and teeth and a tail like a rat.  Bad news for the dogs, their bite could be deadly.  Although our local terrian does not allow us to have driven rabbit hunts I have had the occasion to do this type of rabbit hunting.  For 5 years myself along with some other guys leased a piece of ground in Macon Georgia to rabbit hunt on.  The farmer said the rabbits were eating him out of house and home and needed help. ( The lease was to keep other hunters from encroaching). I was really not good land for farming because it was low ground and in rainy seasons water would drown the crops, but for Mr. Rabbit it made great habitat.  We made a pac not to hunt the land but only one time a year to ensure good sucess for our travel time.  The first years hunt we killed 72 in one day, the second 85, the third 76, the fourth 92 and the last hunt 144.  We had 12-14 guns and I would get in the middle with my dogs and the rest would form a V-shape from the middle both ways stretching out for about 150 yards total and we would walk from one end of the farm to the other shifting the 150 yard V-shape each time.  My dogs thought they had died and gone to rabbit heaven.  We would jump the rabbit and he would almost always peal off to the left or right to escape and bang somebody would get a shot. After the hunt we would sell the rabbits to a local store (back door of course) for $5 per to afford our stay overnight and our trip back home.  I have enclosed a picture of our last hunt.  That's me second from the right, tall, dark and handsome?
