Jackrabbit hunting

[Roadkill]

I am an 11th Marine alum.  We actually moved 3/11 from Pendleton to the Stumps.  High desert jacks are best hunted early and late.  They are skittish.  Up here in the Nevada desert, we try to drive them to standers.  If you can , pattern them as they are somewhat territorial and you may get opportunities.  I recall seeing faint paths at the stumps which the jacks used as escape routes.  They tend to use then to get to feeding areas...anything green will attract the.  Semper Fi

Thanks for all the info guys. And sweet. I'm in 2/7. My bow case just shipped so hopefully I'll get everything tuned and ready to be at it by December. I'll be sure to post pics and let y'all know how I do

Havent got one with a stick and string (hoping to change that this winter) but have taken many with the old nylon66.  They are somewhat creatures of habit and like other mentioned if you can find the fence row where they like to hang out or their favorite sagebrush pile you are in good shape.


I bumbled into many just walking through the prairie on hot days, the trick is to spot them before you get too close and push them out of cover.

You will be amazed how big they can get, I took a couple that dwarfed my 20 pound boston terrier when stretched out. Lots of meat there!

I like to braise the legs in a crockpot with onions and wine or chicken stock, then make stew.  Very good eating if you cook it until it falls off the bone.
