thats awesome, I was thinking maybe under an apple tree, maybe they eat osage oranges ;D that'd be pretty ironic- woke up at 5 this morning to find the 6 point that was gut shot, and as we were pulling out, i saw the same little bastard cottontail run across my yard, i'm gonna drill him the next time I see him fer sure ;D -jimmy

Ha, come to my development! Rabbits everywhere! I'm just not sure all the good residents would care for arrows screaming through their yards. Tempting none the less. I figure that I could disguise my bow as a walking stick, but still haven't decided how to disguise the arrows.
Seriously though, fencerows, field edges, and swampy areas are good. Orchards if you can find one. You want terrain that the rabbits like, but that gives you enough cover to slip up on them.
Susquehannock:
I used to hunt rabbits a lot when I was younger. Generally, we hunted agricultural areas, cut cornfields, apple orchards, fencerows, and general "brushy" areas. The thicker the brush the better. Look for honey suckle thickets, briars, overgrown fields, etc. We used to also hunt with beagle dogs. When you jump a rabbit with a dog, let the dog trail the rabbit and stand perfectly still. Rabbits will literally run a complete circle when followed by a dog. I don't know how many times I would jump a rabbit without a shot, put the dog on the trail, and a half hour later, they'd be looping back to me and the rabbit would literally run right up on me. Good luck. Rabbits are fun to hunt and great eating.
