If you havent had the thrill of hunting rabbits with beagles, put it on your list. Awesome! Thank you Barry, Chuck, Dan, and Gary for coming out and bringing your companions (Beagles - Short, Freddy, Joey, and Todd - Pointing lab Josie from Alcorn's Hunter Haven, and Large Munsterlander Max) to hunt with us. Had a fantastic time hunting rabbits/pheasants with a great group of guys and dogs, and thank you to Barry for the following Testimonial.
Just got home after 5 days of hunting with Zac and Brandon. After our September of 2024 hunt and a talk with Zac, we added a little twist to Lab Land, BEAGLES! Last year Zac said that they had lots of rabbits. I said " Oh really!" I called Zac last spring and we booked this hunt. A buddy from Montana brought a dog he had bought from Zac and a buddy from CA brought his Large Munsterlander. I took my 4 beagles, and the rest is history. Pheasant and rabbit combo. Day one was slow with poor conditions, but the rest of the week was great. Half days pheasants and the other half day rabbits. We even killed a few roosters that were moved by the beagles. Zac wasn't kidding, they got rabbits! Zac and Brandon hadn't experienced the sound and excitement of a pack of beagles in hot pursuit of a shifty cottontail. Zac's smile after all four opened up on the first jump, "Priceless!" I told him it was going to get noisy. Non stop running. Jump after jump, race after race. I think we flushed roosters on all but maybe one or two walks. There were lots of birds. I lost track of how many roosters and rabbits we took, but there were plenty of both. Donna, last years cook, had retired and Brandon's wife McKenzie replaced her. Her enthusiastic gregarious personality along with her skills in the kitchen made her an outstanding addition to the lodge team. McKenzie didn't miss a beat. The meals were outstanding, bag lunches perfect and the deserts were spectacular. Great guys, relaxed atmosphere, 1st class accommodations and plenty of game make for a great experience. I have been to Alcorn's Hunter Haven twice and both trips were outstanding. The saying " If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" certainly applies here. Thanks again
