Not to start anything but in my mind it is too easy without the beagles. My friend and I went out without dogs using ruger 10/22 and got our limit of hares (8), in like maybe 3 hours, it felt like a slaughter more than a hunt. All shots were sitting shots, they wouldn't run they would just sit there and let us walk up on them. It really was not that fun at all, kind of like shooting soda cans. I'd rather be shooting them running in front of a beagle, but that just me, everyone has their own taste.
All you guys getting limits without dogs! Around here ya don't even see 1 without a dog. Even with dog lucky to see 4 or 5 a day!
