Beagles on Fox Trial

Beagles chasing fox in competition. It's a great sport in my opinion because the fox is too fast for a beagle to catch, and they seem to enjoy the race as much as the beagles. Sometimes when our trucks pull up, they stand in the road and wait until we cut the dogs loose. As you can see, the beagles are pounding and the fox is just loping along!

''fox is too fast for a beagle to catch.'' What? Beagles have been treeing foxes for centuries in Englad.

@hfelton I agree that beagles have been used to hunt foxes for ages, but treeing and catching are 2 different things. :) I hope you enjoyed the video of the chase.

off game

@beagleman123456789 LOL. You signed back on 2 years later to say the exact same thing? I got it the first time, but since you obviously want a response, Beagles were running fox long before they were even brought into this country. Move the rock, crawl out.

how many dogs do yall turn loose most of the time?

[nabeagle]

@dawgjay1883 These particular trials there are aonly about 20 - 30 dogs cut loose at once. It's a rather large pen full of foxes so they will often split off into smaller packs. I like the beagles on fox because they don't have a prayer of catching one, but it sure makes for a good chase.

No, it's still off game :-(

Same pack, same weekend, different pen. On the 2-day trials, they run Saturday at one pen, Sunday at the other.
