HR3, I'm right there with you. I live in Lucas and grew up in Amite. We always had 5-6 beagles and my best friend always had a couple of squirrel dogs. All we hunted growing up were rabbits and squirrels. I've had the chance to take my son on a good squirrel hunt with dogs over in Longview and would love for him to experience rabbit hunting.
I used to belong to the east Texas Beagle club, joined to get hooked up with rabbit runners stopped keeping them before I moved here.....might get a Fiest and a Beagle to keep around the house and run on Lavon
