Beagles are scent hounds. They function well in hunting situations where the quarry leaves a scent trail to be followed but the animal is rarely seen. As a hunter and trainer I have 25 years experience with beagles and rabbits. Rabbits are most often the prey hunted with beagles, however I have seen beagles hunt and flush many species of game bird.

Raccoon, Squirrel, Rabbit, bascially any kind of game animal.

well, beagles have an excellent sense of smell. Beagles used to be used in a hunting "game" called beagling. The hunters would let there beagle go and follow them on horseback while the beagle madly searches for a rabbit.
Most farmers don't use beagles they would use herding does like Australian Shepherds. If they do have beagles they use them for hunting since beagles are awesome for hunting. Or they could have the beagles as a protector for livestock which probably isn't what they use em for, since for example I use a Rottweiler to protect livestock from coyotes because they are a lot more tough and aggressive . Also they could just have the beagles as a pet, which a lot of farms have because it's nice to have a companion with you when doing some chores.
Depends on what they are hunting.
The term "beagler" or "beagling" originated from the use of beagles in hare hunting in the 19th century. Beagling involved using beagles to track and hunt hares, typically as a social sport rather than for serious hunting purposes. Over time, the term has evolved to refer to people who participate in this particular form of hunting.
There are many different types of horses used for hunting. Some of the best hunters are Irish hunters. These are fearless and will attempt almost anything. But you can use most sturdy horses for hunting depending on where you are hunting.
there! It appears to me that a foot beagle refers to hunting beagles, and it seems that the term is generally used when referring to a group of beagles that hunt in packs. Another person asked this question on a forum, and a responder said that foot beagles were bred for hunting. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055424686 An excerpt from the book "The Dogs of the British Isles" by J.H. Walsh lists a few of the breeding requirements of foot beagles. http://chestofbooks.com/animals/dogs/British-Dogs-2/The-Beagle.html I have found several websites of hunting clubs that use the name foot beagles, such as the Isle of Wight Foot Beagles http://www.amhb.org.uk/ I hope I helped a little bit! Update: Foot Beagles are smaller Hound beagles are larger and used in hunting Image: http://www.ronancrowley.com/images/IMAG0037.jpg Smaller darker one is the Foot Beagle, Lighter and larger one is the hound beagle
The use them to pretty much just hunt and small game animal like Raccoon, Squirrel, Rabbit or basically any annoying animal in your backyard :)
Hunting goes back to the very beginning's of the human-dog relationship, and a large number of breeds were created just for specific hunting purposes. People use hunting dogs everywhere on the planet.
it is not so much the hunting part where math is used but the shooting part, we use math for bullet trajectory or the figuring of the flight of the bullet to the point of impact
