Rabbits come in cycles that peak every 6 years or so; the populations sky rocket then they recede to a low point and begin to climb until they max out again. This could be why you saw all those rabbits.

This may sound stupid but what is a black ear??

It is illegal in this state to use dogs to hunt deer. But I use the beagles on rabbit, I even one trained on upland bird, good little hounds. :P

Deer dogging has been banned in most northern counties of the state. Beagles are the best rabbit dogs IMHO.

The state banned it b/c we had so many people killing any deer that ran doe, buck, fawn, anything. There were also problems with property boundaries and people illeagaly and intetionally crossing them.
