Stupid Rabbits.

<< < (3/3)

Dharma:
You have to make your medicine and call them to you.

bushboy:
this may sound totally crazy,if a rabbit bolts on you holler"HEY" as loud as you can and most times it will stop dead and look around.a referee whistle works the best,not kidding.then again it may just be the east coast canadian cotton tails it works on :laugh:!

H Rhodes:
X 2 what bushboy said.    You just have to be ready to shoot right then, cause they may not stop but for a second.  Alabama cottontails stop for a whistle too ;).

mikekeswick:
Learn to do an injured rabbit squeak. I finally got it to a point where all the rabbits nearby go straight up onto their back legs and then start hopping towards you. Pretend to be an injured baby....really high pitched short incessant squeaks are the key. I read about Ishi using this technique and figured I'd try and learn it.....i'm glad I did! Predators will come straight to you as well.
The advice about using a hawk call is also good and the whistle when they run.
As i'm sure you've found out rabbits ain't stupid........but some humans are!

tried it today. It works great
Was out with my MTB (no bow) and had many rabbits run. tried to shout "HEY" very loud and they allways stopped for a second or two (never more). Happened 5 or 6 times. Very nice to know. Thankyou.
