I want to be in position for the shot and I don't want to lose my dog. Also as a follow up how do I know when my beagle is running a deer as apposed to rabbbit?

Rabbits will always return within a maximum of 50 yds from where they were first jumped or routed *... When they are chasing Deer they usually will run pretty much in a N, S, E, or westerly direction in a more or less straight line and you may also notice a change in how they give chase by the barking that they do*...Also they may go out of your hearing range*...

Rabbits will circle when being chased by dogs. Just stand where the rabbit took off from and it will run in a circle and come back near where it started. Be quiet and try to listen for the rabbit as it approaches. As for the deer question, a deer will usually just run away from the dog in a straight line. If you train the dog when he's young, you can train them to leave the deer alone. Once they've started to chase deer it's hard to breal them of the habit.

listen to your dogs and find out where they're going and then start looking in front of you and the dogs.....
