Shot him less than 15 yards from a group of my grandfather's cows. Think he was eyeballing the 3 day old calf in the bunch.

Bad cell phone pic angle I imagine. He was good size for around here. We don't grow as big as they do out west and up north.

Didn't kill anything in '15 yet. Went out today, was a bit of a cold bish, wasn't bad till the wind started. Called one in, but he busted me and I didn't get a shot till he was waaay out. FWIW my son is in his great-grandfather's Woolrich's. By the time I got them the pants never fit, but I wore the jacket a great deal when I was younger. Pretty neat to see him out in them today.

I don't have as many rabbits this year. But tonight I was in my jammies and needed another armload of wood. Have a couple mineral tubs of wood on the porch, and stepped out to grab some. A big ol' jack ran down the hill in front of the house. So I exchanged the wood for the Whore-gnat and slippers for pacs, and went back out. Fresh snow and a bright moon equals no spotlight needed. They run up the ditch about 100 yds and stopped. I popped the closer one using the deck post as a rest. The second silly bastid ran back to his buddy. Thee end.....

Are your PDs whitetails?


We've got whitetail jackrabbits and blacktail PDs up here...


The greenies are out to "save" the PDs...they're down to countless millions now....

My brother killed one last year, and was determined to eat it. We fried it up, and it wasn't terrible but it certainly wasn't as good as a cottontail.

In Eastern WA we liked to eat young jacks about the size of a cottontail or smaller. They were tender and tasty with a slight sage taste. Full grown jackrabbits were tough and tasted of sage so strongly we only tried eating one or two.

They were long legged, long eared critters that did not turn white in winter and looked like the ones huntsman22 is posting.

Is this a big year in rabbit cycle all over? There were the most snowshoe hares I've ever seen in the places where I hunted mule deer in the Interior of BC this Fall.
