I agree now is the time to start your pup. What are you planning on hunting with her, snowshoes or cottontails. I ask this because all the old timers around here will trap a cottontail to start a pup on as they say they have a lot more scent than a snowshoe. Also give your pup the best chance at driving rabbits and not deer by taking her to an area with little or no deer in it. Good luck and Happy hunting.

LIVE TO HUNT,HUNT TO LIVE.
