XIA...you said 'know of'...no just know.

Surely you've been around to know OF a few folks on the DVD........I've known of you after all.

I can't wait for bunny season to open here. I'm even half seriously considering driving all the way across the state with gas at $2.75+/gal to hunt white-tailed jackrabbits, which people tell me are very similar to a snowshoe hare.

Be careful when hunting the squirrels...The guy on the left has a bow I think.
 

Seems they are becoming high tech also

LOL!! Terry, I know of you but I do not know you.    so I stand by my statement. but I am happy to hear that you guys did.

You can hunt rabbits (snowshoe hares) all year long in my part of Alaska, just have to be careful about tularemia - a disease that hares get from ticks in the summer months.  Grouse season just opened in mid-August.  I went out yesterday morning, launched two arrows at hares but bagged none, saw 4 or 5 spruce grouse but didn't get any shots.  It is fun though and I think "small game" becomes "big game" when bowhunting.

Squirrels and rabbits is where its at for me!  
Stump shooting takes its place the rest of the year.

I love hunting small game with a bow.  Waterfowl, too.  Just got this years supply of blunts and points.  I am going to try out the G5 Small Game heads as well as the Snaro Bird Points and rubber blunts.

Of course I will likely wind up using judo points or field points with adders like I have done for years, but I wanted to try something new this season.

Small game with a bow is just so challenging and fast paced and I find myself shooting better because of it.  Plus I enjoy being able to move when hunting.

Last year I took one pheasant with a bow.  Three geese.  About a dozen squirrels and 3 or 4 rabbits.  The pheasant and one goose I took on the wing.  The other two geese just swam a little too close to my dock.

If I can manage some time I plan to hit some squirrel with a bow in south east Iowa on my hunting grounds.  Sounds like a real good time flinging arrows at small game with a purpose other than stifling a noisey squirrel during a bow hunt.

I'd really like to nock a crow out of the sky...never met one I didn't want to put an arrow through...  Nobody in PA crow hunts anymore.

Where in PA are you?  I hunt them in the Delaware River NRA.  I'm from NJ but live on the other side of the river about 20 minutes and have my non-res license.
