Some of my fondest outdoor memories involve the baying of beagles on a snowy winters hunt. Those were truly great times. It's been 25+ years since then though. Bunnies seem in very short supply these days. No doubt due to the return of natural predators like coyote, fox, hawks, fisher cats etc. To be honest, if we did have enough bunnies to justify another hunting beagle, I'd be afraid to let it out my sight on a hunt these days. Predators seem thicker than the bunnies ever were.
