Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Rabbit hunting. No dog.

As a kid I bowhunted em behind our house.
Doc owned the woods and piled brush in the middle, made a mowed path through it.
School used it as part of X country course. used to be field in middle but was being invaded by saplings.
That age of habitat, was PERFECT for rabbit.
We couldn't have a garden, as even out of the woods the population was high (fence rows, under sheds, etc).

My aunt owned a thicket below her house that was same age wise in foliage. It was great. Its all woods now.

Buddy had CRP it was good rabbit hunting too, but planted trees and the change (plus coyotes) wiped out the rabbits in a few short years.
Of course, turkeys moved in.
