Rabbit hunting tactics

You want to shoot rabbits? Go to an Iowa chunk yard or go find the chunkiest trash filled farm grove you can.  And ask the farmer, while you are protecting your privates from his dog, that you want to try to shoot rabbits with your longbow and blunt arrows.  He will either laugh at you and let you on or he will encourage his dog to tear you a new one. That is where the Iowa rabbits live.

Is there a better time of day?

The snow was soft on top but I was breaking through and making a lot of noise.  Some snowmobiles came through later making a hard pack so It will be easier walking next time.

The snow is definitly a double edged sword for sure. I like to wait till a melt. The snow helps to spot them, but makes walking difficult. When its melting, you may find it a bit easier. Just go slow, real slow. Good luck.
