WV Rabbit Hunting

Any of you WV guys have any farms that hold rabbits that you would be willing to let a feller run his dogs on? I'll provide the dogs and you provide the gun. I would just like to find a few places to let the dogs stretch their legs. Don't care about killing them. Its tough to find running grounds anymore. North Central WV would be AWESOME!! Im down to one dog right now, but she has pups and will be starting one or 2 of them this summer. Will need a good spot to run then as well. Thanks!!!

we know of a couple of places around here....Beckley

Thanks guys! This season will be slow with one dog, but next year I may be willing to travel a little bit. I will hit you up! Between Flatwoods and Fairmont would be the most convenient with gas prices the way they are now. I appreciate the offer!

We have 300 acres, but I think the coyotes have virtually wiped out the rabbits. Got me a coyote call for Christmas. Gonna get me some(coyotes I mean).

Yeah the yotes and house cats are hard on them. Also finding out people shooting them in the summer to keep them out of their gardens in a couple of my running areas. Oh well.

Hey Mike, been seeing quite a few at the farm this year. Give my dad a yell, the well is done so there isn't a constant string of truck traffic up and down the hill now.

Been there the past 2 weeks. Haven't shot any. First week was too much snow, last week we only hunted across the road from the barn on that hillside. One good chase. Just not the population as there used to be. I hate to shoot any there, I have 2 pups I need to train this summer. Want to make sure there are plenty of rabbits. Thanks man. I will probably be back out again before the season ends though.

Well, if all goes as planned, we're going to try and start busting the coyotes up there. They are definitely putting the hurt on the rabbit and turkey populations up there.

I had beagles all my life up until about 10 yrs ago. Best sport there is. I have about 100 acres but the coyotes are bad. There are some mine lands not far from here in Wayne Co that hold a lot of rabbits.

the farm i hunt a few miles from the subdivision i live in has coyotes and i'd luv to bag one of them. a lady i work with says they killed a neighbors dog in her neighborhood and she lives inside the city limits of canal winchester. you cant shoot inside the city limits. does anyone make a cage type trap for a coyote. to many kids play in that field during the day to use a regular trap.
