Not for 20 years now.

It'll be testing the memory but you're welcome to ask.

One of my local neighbourhood dogs is a beagle who goes mad with mine.

Let them off at the park together and it's instant wrestling for 40 minutes, they both come home knackered :lol:

The guys in the video seem pretty spot on.

I was going to say a few of the same but no point repeating.

I went on a fox drive last year and the guy running it took a dozen beagles , seemed to me that they chased the rabbits as much as the foxes. I'm going to a club meeting tonight and will ask . One bloke had two dashound puppy's that he put onto a killed rabbit to train them a bit, that was so cool to watch there natural instinct to get the prey. The rabbit was as big as the puppy's

I take a pair of working dogs rabbiting occasionally, a short haired border collie and a bluey.

the bluey is getting a bit to old for it now but the collie can get em, he just doesn't have the same bight as the blue dog, she kills them with one chomp he has the typical sheep dog nip.

Lots of fun and the dogs love it too.

They're literally a plague in some parts of the country.
What is this "too many rifles" you speak of?

I've been in the same house for about 5 years now and only used to see them along side the roads when driving out of the city.

These days I'm seeing them in the local streets early in the mornings.

I'm pointing the finger at the local golf course I think... They must be truck loads in there and not much if anything getting done about them.
