Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Where Are All The Rabbits?

I suppose you just shot those rabbits sitting there on the ground, without waiting for them to flush- very unsporting of you. And those clothes? How uncivilized. Paddler would have a conniption.

Guilty on all accounts. I have always been an opportunist and that has been good for me...

I don't know about That! Shraps' about the best dressed bunny hunter I've ever seen, at least here in Montana. No clashing colors and always the appropriate accouterments for the work at hand, coolest foogin' blasters as usual. Havn't seen an HK P7 in years.

Just got in.

17 Jacks with my rifle, 5 with a new (to me) .45 handgun.


LOTS of them running when I was withing 75 yards. Very skittish. Must have heard that Shrap was out and about.

pics after a while.

I would looooove to get into a pile of jacks.

I doubt I shot at anywhere close to 1 in 5. Conservatively saw 90-110+. You shoot at one, and four more would be hauling Hare through the sage.

I could have cheated and used a shotgun for the closer ones flying through the brush, but rifle/handgun shooting them is too much fun. Had one running directly away from me. Hammered him. Noted the skid/trail o blood was long.

measured 8 paces/yards before he came to a stop..

My mannnnn! Exactly how its supposed to be done!


Had an uncle in Pennsylvania that was a devout ruffed grouse hunter with his little Chas. Daly SxS 20 ga.....he counted " flushes" etc.
Ran into a gaggle a few years back and all i had with me was a 4" Colt diamondback in .22

I couldn't remember back then if the limit was three or five, so I split the difference and shot four with the Colt.

Told my uncle about it...I think that was the heart attack that killed him....

Thanks! Just printed that off...gotta try it!

So... ummm.... what's your schedule lookin' like the next few weeks, Mackay.

I was looking to see how far he is away myself. Jack rabbits are made for blasting, I could warm up a barrel or two chasing them through sagebrush...

There might be a couple left....

Road trip.

Good to see that Smith Mackay.



Travis

Outstanding shoot there Mackay!!!!!

A road trip to slay jacks is never a bad idea!


I am liking the big Smith more than anticipated.

I wish that the Jack's would make a comeback here in Wyo. When I first moved to Kemmerer,WY. in 1985, there seemed to be thousands. Now, at least in this area,they're scarce as hen's teeth. Seems that they virtually disappeared in the early 90's. memtb

We don't have all that many around here but the numbers are up this year.



Rode by this goofball at about 20 yards on my horse.


Buddy was riding about 50 yards away and laughed when I took a pic.



I get a kick out them but could also see were they could be a pest.


Does anyone want to trap beaver?

You can't shoot the one rabbit up there but damn the beavers need to die!

Plenty for rabbit fricassee.

Shotguns! some sport, you need centerfires, no 22's and shoot them on the run...

Good luck with that, we kick 'em up in the briar and multi-flora rose patches were you need a shot pattern.
