RABBIT HUNTING with DOGS! {Catch & Cook} 

When I was 2 years old my Grandfather gave me a Beagle for my birthday and he was named Boomer Boy. He was the best rabbit hunter and listened to both me and my Grandfather and no one else. He died from injuries protecting me from a german shepard and I miss him still to this day 50 years later. I have always loved this breed as I was around them from the first day I was born.

I haven't been rabbit hunting since my friend passed away. Loved hearing the dogs barking in the woods. Great video. Thanks for the memories, even though I wasn't there it was great.

Love rabbit hunting! Those dogs get so excited! Swamp rabbits and cottontails ! Nice!

G'day mate, Love hunting with dogs it's so much fun. We usually spotlight for rabbits over here and get heaps. Definitely gotta try that recipe looks great. God bless you guys.🦘👍

Oh how I love to hear hunting dogs on the scent. It's been way too many years since I heard that beautiful chorus. I used to love to hear them on a deer or rabbit. We had both beagles and walkers and you talk about about fun. We had two cross breeds (walker/beagle mix) Sheena and I can't for the life of me remember the other one's name. Those crazy dogs would run and run and people would call us three and four counties over when they would quit running. It was crazy but so much fun. Thank you for the memories my dear. Everytime I watch your videos you bring up such beautiful memories of my younger days. Honey I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a beautiful New Year.

That was a great job tug. I absolutely love your videos.

Those swamp rabbits are beasts! Hunting with dogs is such a great time. They're pretty amazing. Our family enjoyed this video!

The 13” Beagle 😊 how exciting. My dad raised them when I was a kid.

Thank you for lovely Sunday after noon. For us old boys up here in Manyland, we call that a 2 for 1 day, because we go for pheasant with the dogs and they stir up the rabbits too ! So we get both for hunting that day. So what you made today is called rabbit fricassee and I love it all the way.

Nothing funner than hunting with beagles. Great hunt and praise God for the game.

Them wabbits are waskily . You missed a chance to wear an Elmer Fudd hat and say " SHHH ! Be verwy Qwiet . We're hunting wabbits ."

When my sister and I was young my dadst hunting buddy gave him two beagle puppies to train to hunt within two months queen and princess had been turned into our pets. Needless to say they never went hunting. My dad and sister are both gone to heaven but I want to thank you for reminding me of this memory with your video. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Bring that bunny home Ian! Years ago I had an Aunt who raised them commercially for food, my hubby for the summer each year, I love the meat, but like anything the wild always is better, easy to get spoiled on that like fishing. Nature's grocery store is my favorite!

I was into hunting rabbits, as well as field trials with my cousin, who got me into dog hunting with beagles. He was like a second Daddy to me . He passed and I just lost interest. Thanks for the video. Brought back some great memories.

I’ll add that to my crockpot dinner list! When we hunted around home (S.E. Pennsylvania) our mom made a lot of good Pa Dutch recipes and one of my favorites was the baked pot pies. She made them with either rabbit, squirrel or pheasant, whatever we brought home from the field. It was par-cooked on stovetop, cubed/shredded and put in pie dish with shredded potatoes, carrots and onions, salt/pepper and poured over a milk/flour mixture to make the “gravy”. Then covered it with pie crust. Baked maybe 30-40 min, not sure on the time? Was always a good Sunday dinner during hunting season!

Oh damn, you did say Cuba.. love those peeps!!! Caught bones one tarpon one permit and had cast on two snook on flies that I tied. That place is the Bomb!!!

Great video Ian. Beagels sure bark funny.

You brought back some fond memories with this one! Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Any kind of hunting with dogs is a blast. 💥 Dogs 🐕 always amaze me with their sense of smell!! Awesome channel here Tug

Gotta love them Beagles......hahahaha....noisy as heck...good trackers though, better luck next time on them rabbits...funny video...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great work Tugg! Love seeing ya cook on the boat.

I can tell that's a genuine laugh from Ian.

Ian thank you for taking me alone. It was another great video. God Bless

Hasenpfeffer!!!! Well pretty close lol, Looks killer Tug! Yumm

The gravy turned out nice and thick...shoulda checked before continuing to film 😂, but the end result was great. Garlic Rabbit is a good name for this dish studying the ingredients. Keep em coming Ian. Thanks for sharing.

I'm betting the crew on the tug love it when you cook. Enjoying the videos, keep it going and growing!

Aloha Ian. Beagles used to be one of those dogs you saw everywhere, like basset hounds and Dalmatians. Just don’t see em much anymore. We raised and ate our own rabbits in Ohio when I was a kid. Had to tell my brother it was special chicken.

It is cool that your friends on the tug are joining in on your videos.

That hound sound is music used to love deer hunting with beagle walker mixed

Omg I was thinking you would be making rabbit stew I still have a hard time watching you cook lol enjoy your dinner

i love the tug cooking

Great video, you need to get a couple Norwegian Elkhounds. You'd be pleasantly surprised by their hunting skills!

Nice job. Food looked awesome too 👍

Love those beagles. Grew up hunting st johns river swamp with beagles and walkers. Makes the hair stand up on my neck when i hear them jump.😊

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Woods Rabbits are the best eating ( excluding domestic raised ). Loads of fun hunting with dogs. Beagles are pretty fast running dogs ( fast action ). Using Basset Hounds are slower running and gives the rabbit more time to stop and rest, they're for easer to be seen and shoot . Making for a more relaxed hunt and usually more shots and more meat in the pot ! Great video.

This video made me Smile the whole time I was watching it. I had a pair of Beagles years ago. To watch them work those bunnies was amazing. Honestly the best rabbit dog I have ever had was a Saint Bernard. She was slow enough to get the rabbits out in front of her. She caught a couple on the ice. She loved the heads. Crazy.

Great job looks great

Letting hunting do what they were breed for > 😤💯🔥🔥

Awesome buddy🤠🐶🐇

Great video Tug! You are certainly putting out some variety of content. Love the rabbit hunt, sometimes it’s just hunting, just like fishing… not catching. Too bad you weren’t able to get one yourself. That plate of food you made looked so delicious. And carrots roasted have so much better flavour. Next time, try slicing down the middle as it creates more surface to flavour. And it’s faster. Thanks for sharing!!!

Great video

Looks fantastic

Hunted for rabbits like that all my life it’s the greatest

Loved the Beagles. They are so enthusiastic. My great uncle, Ben Willard, was Miami’s only Criminal Court judge for 30 years or so. He lived right next to the Orange Bowl and had kennels full of fox hounds. They are noisy as hell. When people moved near they would 4:03 4:05 😮 call the police to complain about the constant barking, but he was the judge so nothing happened. The hunt was weird. They would take the dogs out to the woods down around Homestead build a bonfire and sit around listening to the dogs. Later they would gather them up. If the ever caught a fox I never saw one. Your recipe looked great and would work for almost any meat.

You need 3 or so beagles of your own out back. I bet crystal would be happy to take care or them when you’re on the tug.

Awesome video

Super cool catch clean and then cook 1000+ miles away guessing.

Hey Ian, wishing you & Crystal a Merry Christmas! Was just rewatching your video where you made the key lime pie. Can you share your friends website where he grows the Florida key limes? Going to ask if he ships to Houston area. Going to try your recipe but I’ll make my own crust.

Love the video I love running my beagles and your Wash your sister sauce 😂

Music to my ears I've done this a lot here in NC foothills

I'm starting to dig and appreciate your videos @ Tug Trash Outdoors. Your videos when operating the tugboat and en route to Guantanamo caught my eye as I was watching other cool video channels that I watch regularly. I like that your videos have multiple people in them, so much variety and some tasty stick to the ribs vittles too. >@^_*@

That would have been a great Wednesday cooking video .......... Looks tasty ...... PEACE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Great fun to see those dogs come out of their cage hehe, a good outdoor experience. After my retirement, I lived in Colombia for a few years and had the opportunity to eat rabbit. Is very good. Greetings from Argentina

What did u think of that I love it

We would try to always mix in a squrrel with it

Awesome

Smothered over rice with one of my favorites I have eaten it my whole life and I do squirrel the same way

I guarantee you are the first to cook SC rabbits in Cuba on a Tugboat. Did you check with immigration before bringing in swap rabbits LMFAO. I grew up in SW Ga on a farm every year we planted rye grass for the cows after the crops were harvested. We hunted them with with a spot light and a Rem. nylon66 out of the back of a pickup truck and even from the hood of the car if last minute. Was may favorite hunting and every once in a while we would catch a possum or 2. If you use a pressure cooker the rabbits will be done about the same time as the rice. We also cook tree rat/squirrel the same way. Looked like fun for all but the rabbits LOL.

Man that looked good 👍

Can't hunt them with dogs where I live, but looks like like a blast

I never done that before I will love to try this

🤙

Oh Darn that Whacky Wabbit!

Not really a video question, but do you get much for rough water running back and forth to Cuba? Or do you not run if it's too rough for fear of loosing cargo?

Nothin better than sweet beagle music

You have the best catch-n-cooks on RU-vid. Maybe you are tied with Sam and Joyce The Old Couple 🤣😂. That is a good thing because Joyce can throw down in the kitchen.

Tug, you think I could do that same recipe with some wild turkey I got on a steelhead fishing in ID???

Gud job man

Looks absolutely delicious

Aloha. Who does the grocery order on that boat? Is it a restaurant supply, or does someone physically go shopping?

Cool channel dude. New sub.

buhahahhahaha, sounded like” Wash your sister”!😂😂😂😂

How many you guys on the boat at a time? Just curious

Is this around sc ? I see the havoc hat

Hi there see you in few different videos with babe my question is how can I get work as cook on boat

Would love to come and spend some quality time with y’all. I am a professional carpenter and love to fish and ain’t scared of work! If you’re in need of some maintenance work either at hunting camp or at home I’m willing and able! Love you guys and you can never have too much fun! Seriously let me know. And we will work something out, Thanks.

Good video, but you're missin 3 things Cornbread, coolade & hotsauce. 😂

👍👍👍🙋🍺

I’m going out my 1st time Saturday with a co-worker. Can anybody give me some quick 1st time tips?

Them dogs hit the ground and you got revved up!

Gotta love that rabbit meat.

Them some noisey dogs lol

I need a job with you.

Rabbit hunted since I was 5 years old. If you so much as farted after that dog trailed out, Daddy slap you upside the head. That rabbit will circle back unless chased by something else. I've had rabbits run over my foot because daddy taught us to NEVER move after first bay! Scratch your nose or butt later!!!

buggs got away eating carrots with rabbit vwery interesting
