Rabbits can be found almost anywhere in the country and require no especial skill to kill. A good rabbit dog will keep one busy, and the beagle is easily the prime favorite for rabbit hunting.

When a rabbit is started, he will dodge from one side to the other, and if you stop your gun off he will go. Always shoot low on a rabbit as on a bird.

It is good practice to let a few shots escape you by simply holding on the rabbit without shooting and so test your ability to follow.

Many will boast of a long shot, when if they had stepped the distance it would surprise them to see how close they were to the rabbit.
