The jack rabbits are rutting out here and you can call in the bucks buy using lip squeeks and a predatore call . with the call just make soft meow type sounds . Not sure what they think but it works. This guy was almost in my lap had to take a long ten yard shot.

There are a few people here in Aus. that call in hares. Saw a video where the hares were coming like they were on a leash, pretty cool. Great shooting, BTW!

Roy,

I don't know the California rules but in Idaho, we can kill jack rabbits year round - no season, no limits. They are considered varmints and are very prolific. Like other hares or rabbits, populations are cyclical with highs and lows.

In years past, there were so many, big round ups occurred with drivers pushing them into pens to be clubbed by the those waiting. They can do a lot of damage to vegetation - natural and crop lands.

I thought rabbits just stayed in rut..
Nice shot and an interesting story and technique.

Thank you Ray_G!

I never thought about how they would classified as varmints.

We have a very few Jacks or Swamp rabbits left in Missouri.

We currently don't have a posted season on Jacks and a possession limit of 2 Swamp rabbits during it's season.

I can't even imagine having any type game that was so over populated that they could be herded.

Thanks again!

God bless,Mudd

Its pretty neat to watch them this time of year. they are in little herds 3-4 running around chasing each other.They are varmits here season all year and no limits. They can mess up the drip systems in the orchards buy chewing on the lines.

I just finished a book detailing the Dust Bowl in the 30's. It specifically talked about rabbit drives. Don't quote me, but if I recall correctly, they killed something like 6000 in one weekend.

Check out this link. Says 10,000 to 20,000 in Kansas in 1935.

Nice! I never thought about calling them. We have a bunch out here, and they are pretty tough to get close to.

California jack rabbits are open all year. No limit.
Gonna give calling them a try. Wasn't aware they went into rut. Makes sense. Thanks for the pics and tips.
Cheers
