It is some of the best hunting I have ever experienced. Jumping the rabbit or witnessing a sight chase, the sound of the chase, the anticipation for the rabbit, the exhilaration of hearing the shot or shots in my case, spending time with the kids, seeing and hearing the dogs work and the ringing of bells, hunting with friends and it would not be a rabbit hunt if you didn't take a briar right across the nose. I'm still digging for one in my thumb. It all makes for a great type of hunting. It doesn't hurt to have friends with great beagles.
