JEFF B Trad Bowhunter Member # 7842 posted                     yeah you tell em killie!! -------------------- '' sometimes i wake up Grumpy; other times i let her sleep" TGMM FAMILY OF THE BOW Posts: 7926 | From: auckland new zealand | Registered: Dec 2005  |  IP: Logged |  LMCHIEF Member Member # 332 posted                     hey sarah- did you get your new bow yet? if you do give me a call and we will go shoot, I will take you out to the airport and we can shoot at tennis balls with the judos you bought a couple weeks ago dave Posts: 54 | From: LAKE MILLS , IA | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Sarah Trad Bowhunter Member # 16491 posted                     Thanks everyone for the info. Killy, you continue to make my day. did you get that email I sent you? Dave, sorry I didn't call today, I got off work a bit late and opened up my package to a heap of rain. Am I cursed for not shooting this beauty the day I got it? I'll call you tomorrow. Any more information anyone's got would be great...I'll most likely be hunting alone, though I may have a non-hunter along (one of those outdoorsy types), and I certainly will not have a beagle. Any ideas for such a scenario?

Check out this picture!! Awesome!

He or she must do this vigorously, and with feeling. Stand a few yards off, in the direction that you feel the rabbit will go, and to the side of their path. If you wait for snow, you will see the runways that they habitually take. Be ready to shoot. It's almost midnight, and I get up at 4:45. How many of these do I have to come up with? Scenario 2 involves a hand grenade.

Posts: 211 | From: Central PA | Registered: Jun 2008  |  IP: Logged |  Molson Assoc Sponsor Member # 1802 posted                     I'm not a fan of broadheads for rabbits because I like to have an arrow on the string while I'm kicking around in the brush. Just not worth the risk of putting one through your leg. Judo and Ace Hex are excellent and I've never had one fail to knock down rabbits except when I miss! Look for the eye of the rabbit in the brush. It's a lot harder to see a whole bunny. Many times they will sit perfectly still and let you walk within feet of them. Sometimes you're nearly standing on them when kicking brush before they take off. If they're in the open and see you, they'll usually head for the hole. Remember hole locations for future hunts and look for rabbit sign in cover near the hole. They will use the same cover over and over. Take the non-hunter along when you just want to walk and have some company. Non-hunting outdoors types usually want to see what's around the bend, not what's right in front of them. -------------------- "The old ways will work in the future, but the new ways have never worked in the past."

Posts: 211 | From: Central PA | Registered: Jun 2008  |  IP: Logged |  doeboy Contributor 2010-2011 Member # 14835 posted                     Sarah, If you are interested, when ever you come back to P.A. and want to hook up with some good beagles and lots of bunnies,we are always looking for some "shooters" to come along. my dad likes to bring some people so the dogs keep "fur in their mouth" we hunt around the Long Pond/Mountain top area in the Poconos. Not to bad of a drive. Offers open. Posts: 426 | From: New Jersey | Registered: Jan 2008  |  IP: Logged |  BobT Trad Bowhunter Member # 16119 posted                     Sarah, My absolute favorite time to hunt bunnies is on a cold morning with little or no wind and bright sun. If there is a little fresh snow that's even better. Prowl slowly through areas with thick brush and a southern exposure. Rabbits will come out of the thickest brush to "sun" themselves, since you are going without a dog just go slow and keep your eyes open. As mentioned in a previous post, that shiny black eye will almost jump out at you sometimes. That is also my aiming point, sitting or running I will always aim for the eye and don't be afraid to take running shots, you will surprise yourself! If that is your target in the link that Killdeer posted you won't have too much trouble with rabbits. Your Judo points should work just fine and are "loss resistant" . Rabbits are also easy to clean and excellent table fare. Good luck and keep us posted. I expect you will be posting bunny pictures before long! Killdeer, As far as I'm concerned you can post your bunnie pictures as much as you like! And if you ever want to chase Missouri Whitetails you are welcome to bring your Hubby and come on out. I'll put you on a "Big'un". I can't seem to close the deal on him anyway! -------------------- Bob It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fence post than to shoot for the fence post and hit the ground! Posts: 202 | From: Viburnum, Missouri | Registered: Apr 2008  |  IP: Logged |  Drew Trad Bowhunter Member # 12039 posted                     Killie, we call jumping brush doing the "bunny stomp". Sarah, if you don't have anyone to go with just stalk them. Winter is always a good time for a walk. The day after a fresh snow is good or the morning after. Walk the edges of thick stuff and you'll find tracks...nothing like wandering like a coyote! Best of luck... -------------------- Just a Coyote Soul out wandering... Posts: 1902 | From: St. Johns, Michigan | Registered: Mar 2007  |  IP: Logged |  Sarah Trad Bowhunter Member # 16491 posted                     ok, i have a few more basic questions as well... how does licensing work? what license(s) do i need? i need to take a hunter's safety course, how do i find out where i can do that? i'll post them as i think of them... Posts: 211 | From: Central PA | Registered: Jun 2008  |  IP: Logged |  mysticguido ***unregistered*** posted              if your not going to hunt deer then a small game license will do. go to your Home State's fish & game website or call them. IP: Logged |  Jason Jelinek Trad Bowhunter Member # 446 posted                     My experience shooting rabbits (about 1 dozen) is that blunts and judos are great for head shots but broadheads will kill them in far more places (marginal hits). Imagine taking a 10" wide broad head and shooting a deer. Hitting a deer in most places with a 10" wide broadhead would probably kill them. Jason Posts: 870 | From: North Dakota | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Killdeer Chatter Member Member # 437 posted                        I took Hunter's Ed at the National Wildlife Federation. Then I took it at a county-run shooting center. Then I took it there again. Then I took it at the rod and gun club that I belong to. Some Izaak Walton League chapters may hold them, and this link came from the Pennsylvania State Game Commission. http://www.hte.state.pa.us/eventcalendar.aspx Killdeer (I aced the test every time!) -------------------- Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend. ~Longfellow TGMM Family Of The Bow Posts: 15027 | From: Fibber McGee's Closet, VA | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |
