I grew up running rabbits with my dad and our dogs. We had 4 in my childhood. 3 beagles and 1 Blue-tic cross. Dogs got old he died.... Now I'm a dad and I bought 2 lemons they just turned 2. I have dragged furs and dropped them in the tracks close to home, for better part of 2 years now. My local beagle club seems unapproachable and stuffy in many ways. I just want my kids to share those days with me like I did with my dad and I want my dogs to have a happy life doing what they are bread for.
My first couple questions of many are;
Does anyone run dogs with out gps and shock collars? My dogs come to call so far but I do not expect them to do that in the future. If not what are some entry level products that are affordable?
Is there a temperature range that is dangerous or unproductive for my dogs?
I have been scouting all season, I spend 200 days a year in the woods hunting and scouting for all game and predators, it seems like the rabbit population has taken a beating since the leaves came off.
I think my post sounds like many others I have read here but I need to start somewhere.
