Rabbit hunting pics,

[Roadkill]

Charlie, go after the pygmy cottontail next trip west.  Not much of a target (or a meal)

[Charlie Lamb]

I know there is a brush rabbit on the west coast and it's pretty small. Where do the pygmy cottontails live?

[Hopewell Tom]

Something small from Texas - that's a new one for me...

[Mike Mecredy]

We have pygmy rabbits here in Idaho but they're protected.

Izzy, ya' gotta' find another hunting spot.  Looks like hunters are multiplying like rabbits around there.

A "bunny slam", Now there's a lofty goal.  There's swamp rabbits in the Missouri bootheel, but just cottontails in my part of the state.

It's not a true slam unless you include the "giant jack" Mr Charlie.    

Good thread and pictures.

I love hunting snowshoes.  Here's a few pics.  Would like to go after Arctic hares sometime (a 10- 12lb hare)     :eek:   but it would be a lot of time and money to get to where they are here.

Chinook907... That's what I'm talkin about. One of my all time favorite critters to hunt. I miss it.

A snowshoe hare from the AK interior.

Pygmy bunnies are in NV too.

Our Michigan cottontails are so tough that sometimes it takes more than one arrow to stop em.

Charlie - yes they are fun.  Did they cycle much where you were, or did you have similar numbers from year to year ?  Numbers are dropping here after peaking a couple years ago, but still enough to make it interesting.

What winter dreams are made of...

Awesome critters. Ive only seen them while deer hunting in the Adirondack. The areas in my region of NY that are known to have populations Ive searched for miles and miles without cutting a track.

Fair number of Snowshoes in the central Adirondacks but tough to hunt in the thick Hemlock and Spruce that they like to hand around.....I see lots of tracks usually with a coyote track right with them. The population is very cyclic with highs and lows. When the number are high you'll see more bobcat, coyote and fisher sign also! Went a few weeks ago but didn't see a one.

[chinook907]

I used to bump a few on some public land in Scoharie County. Thirty years ago lol.

[Charlie Lamb]

Chinook... yep, pretty cyclic, but not too bad even when they were at low cycle.

Love that first pic. Classic!!

[Over&Under]

Charlie
Great pics as always...love seeing those hunting pics of years ago, I bet it was quite different than today.

Is that a compound I see in that pic?        :D

[Thumper Dunker]

Why would some one want to chase rabbits?  :rolleyes:  All i need to get is a snow shoe and I'll have a California slam on rabbits.
Have taken Brush cottontails ,desert cottontails And our big blacktail jacks. Theres another brush cotton tail but its protected. Rabbits are right up there with yotes.Wonder why my Friends call me thumper?.
