Greyhounds Silent Hunt on Prairie Rabbits Near Eagle Lake
A group of LaGrange and Bastrop hunters used 16 greyhounds to kill over 800 jack rabbits in under four hours on prairie north of Eagle Lake. Greyhounds hunt by sight and cooperate, chasing sacks of rabbits until exhausted. In West Texas, rabbit drives end with shotgun hunts, packing hundreds of rabbits and occasional coyotes, a business-like practice rather than sport.
