Rabbit techniques

(1/5) > >>

Dakotian:
Of all the species of animals that I have hunted rabbits are most certainly my favorite, however I always just wing it when it comes to just about everything involved. So since my luck on thinning the herd of such a great number of rabbits in my woods has been less than somewhat not successful, I find myself wondering what techniques should I be using when it comes to rabbit hunting, stalking, searching, tracking and shooting. What do you all find works best?

Coo-wah-chobee:
D- shoot close-no more than 10 yds or so-herr' rabbit is a small target-searching i dont know since i dont know the country. look close up to you forget 30 yds away-rabbits hide in  what you and i would consider ridiclulously small cover. I use blunts myself-if you see rabbit go into cover shoot just inside cover. Stalk very slow-and dont make direct eye contact- thats about all i can tell you-wish we still had plenty of cottontails down south here but fire ants have taken care of that-but we still have marsh rabbits a bit different- still fun-dont taste as good as hossenpfeffer though-good luck-bob

Little John:
I don't have any special techniques, I just get out and hunt. Sometimes I will get a shot and sometimes I even conect. Use an arrow that will kill. I use broadheads. good luck and have fun.   kenneth

Hillbilly:
I like to track them down when it snows. I don't threaten the population too much with a bow, either, but it's fun.

jamie:
when you take the shot look at its head . the best placement for a shot is the head and shoulder area. hit the head and its done. hit the shoulders and it wont be able to go anywhere. i prefer blunts especially judos for rabbits. ive just about cut small game in half with broadheads and the animals still have enough in em to run for a hole or up a tree. thats why i like the head and shoulders and blunt trauma on small critters.
