At what age should you start training a beagle pupy to hunt?

November 6th, 2009

When should you start training a beagle pup to hunt (deer), and do you have any good tips?

I’m pretty sure its illegal to use dogs for hunting deer.

you should try as soon as you think that they will be able to understand you and try your best to start as early as you could

First, I hope it’s legal to hunt deer with a dog where you live…

Second, here’s a link that might be helpful.

They’re never too young to start teaching.

I have a 1.5 yr old beagle and he started to hunt deer on his own at age 10 months. I don’t hunt nor does my father so this is something he learnt on his own with instinct. To this day he will hunt deer in the hills but since they are faster than him, he can only chase them so far and comes back. He is much better at hunting field mice, gophers, squirrels and grouse as he can kill them. This started at age 7 months and has never stopped. I say get your beagle out there and start right away with it.

Beagles hunt small game. Rabbits are what they mostly hunt. If you get a dog to run deer in Pa. it would be shot and you would be fined or even arrested. You better check your local laws.

Beagles are NOT deer hunters, any Beagle hunting deer in Ohio is usually shot. Beagles hunt rabbits and birds in some cases. If your Beagle hunts Deer that’s a good way to never see it again. Most deer hunting Beagles become lost for ever, Deer can leave scent for miles (usually) the travel 3-4 miles a day. Do yourself a favour and take the dog to rabbit spots around 8-16 weeks and leave they deer alone.
