Rabbit hunting can be a wonderful social affair that the entire family can enjoy. If you know anyone with a few rabbit beagles do yourself a favor and ask to be part of a hunt!

Rabbit hunting dates back for centuries I suppose, but it is still fun to many East Texas hunters. We have two different types of rabbits in East Texas, the Cottontail and the Swamp Rabbit.
