Title: Scotting for bunnies
Post by: Thumper Dunker on June 23, 2015, 02:32:00 AM
Only about two weeks and its bunny season out here. Some pics of a after noon of scouting and squirrel shooting from the other day.

A little orchard I can hunt in. The one across the highway. Coyote heaven.

Amazing that you have rabbits with all the coyotes out there....then again, you've probably single-handedly limited the amount of predation they have to endure, lol!

I went to a falconry meet in Cali/Nevada a few years ago. I'd love to go back out with my longbow for coyotes. Never seen so many, so close. It's nothing like hunting them back here in the east. Couldn't believe how many Jack rabbits were out there.

Thanks. I love the looks of it. You can tell by my signature the look I like.

Wow  those orchards are "bit" bigger than I imagined.

That scale helps me understand the quantity of coyotes you see, but I continue to be amazed by the quantity of coyotes you kill.

Thanks for sharing.
