Rabbits around here lay out in cover. In your goes your busher with his super beagle honker. Flushes rabbit, track rabbit to ground. Net up ferret in rabbit netted done. You can't get more efficient. If rabbit slips net off goes your busher with his super honker until it goes to ground again. No escape really. So yea I would say a lot of use. In fact better than a lurcher in my opinion
