Abstract:
North Carolina is one of the top three or four beagling states in the nation. Beagling is a field competition that tests a hound's abilities against other hounds in tracking a scent trail, in this case a rabbit trail. The rabbit always escapes and is never harmed. The state has twenty-four beagling clubs. Horan discusses what a competition involves and the differences between brace beagling and a beagle hunt competition.
