Default guided rabbit hunts?

Like most, I started out chasing rabbits when I was a kid...now it is difficult to get access to good spots. I don't have any beagles but would sure like to hunt over some.

I was wondering if anyone knows of if there are guided rabbit hunts available? Preferably somewhere in southern part of the state.

Thnks

Never heard of guided cotton-tail hunts but have heard of guided snow-shoe hunts in the upper.I enjoy cotton-tail but them snow-shoes are a BLAST to hunt,some LONG runs for the dog

Anyone know a good guide who does Snowshoe hunts in the UP? I have a young Beagle that is good on Cottontails but wouldn't mind hiring a guide in the UP for hare.

I don't know that he guides for rabbits, but I was pleased with the work they did with my beagles in their starting pen.
