Discovering The Thrill of Hound-Led Snowshoe Hare Hunts

Send us Fan MailWhat ignited my passion for hunting? Without a direct lineage of hunters in my family, I found inspiration in the pages of Cabela's catalogs and hunting magazines. My journey began with small game expeditions alongside friends, gradually evolving into a deep appreciation for the thrill of spot and stalk hunting. In this episode of Hunts on Outfitting Podcast, I share my early days of coon and rabbit hunting, which led to a lifelong love for hound hunting and the building of my beagle pack, starting with my first beagle, Buffy, and later expanding with Gringo.The essence of rabbit hunting comes alive as we dive into the necessary preparations and safety measures. Imagine the jingling of bells stirring up rabbits and the strategic selection of a shotgun, as these tools are crucial for an exciting hunt. The bells not only help track the dogs but also play a pivotal role in making rabbits more detectable. My focus isn’t solely on the hunt's outcome; it's about safety, respect for the animals, and the joy of witnessing nature and the remarkable teamwork of beagles. This experience offers insight into choosing the right environment to increase your success and the art of positioning yourself to outsmart the elusive snowshoe hares.Snowshoe hare hunting with beagles presents its own set of challenges and exhilarations. In this episode, you’ll gain knowledge about the cunning tactics these hares employ to evade capture and how beagles' extraordinary tracking skills make this hunt accessible to everyone.
