Just finished a hunt this morn. Hunt them like deer. Spot and stalk. Find sign and work it slowly. Look for ears, eyes and tails. Under the shadysides of sage when hot and sunny when cold. I took a friend from work and he tried to hunt them as if he was shotgunning. He saw a lot and never got a decent shot. Also, as you stalk, look behind you. I use pink fletching, and seldom us flu flus. Shoot so if you miss, the arrow over will often make them run towards you. Works for me
I take my target points and use a 9mm casing on them. I cut off the primer end so there is a point but a really good blunt. I shot three arrows and killed two, one an instant kill, the other made it 12 yards. Good luck
I'd lie if I did not admit I love/live for cottontail season. I have 2 in the dutchie right now. Biscuits will be ready in just a few.
