It looks like I can train my beagle off leash at a wma here but...

It doesn't come right out and say that either from what I've found and there isn't much there so here goes.

You need a hunting license..

If using birds you need permit for those to have..

Pick up poop..

First of all move. Get out of MA.

Next find a buddy with trained working beagles. Hunting with his dogs will teach yours more than you ever could.

Beagles need to run solo or with one other old steady dog that want run off game to learn and develop confidence .Running a young dog in a pack puts to much pressure on the youngster and can cause problems
 
...
simple just ask a game warden and what are you training a beagle to do with birds

I'm training for rabbit.. the beagle.

Sorry.. I was just adding that if it was bird dogs training. To have the birds.

I've just heard in a few places that you can train them. I think I'll call the warden on Monday and ask though.

My gun club is also is an option to ask. and that falls under private land. There are rabbit around there.

Yea.. she's needs to find and run her rabbit..
 
40 years ago there was a beagle club/training facility at the north end of the Newburyport WMA. Having escaped MA about that time I do not know if it is still there. My beagle was traind at tha WMA running with friends family who trained beagles. She learned to chase pheasants and to retrieve them. Furry stuff she would not pick up unless it was a squirrel then she would eat the head off.
