I will as well.  My husband has dared me to go for the redneck grand-slam.  All small game like bunnies, coon, turkey, etc.  We will see.

I love to stalk around after small game, to be honest I like deer hunting but small game is a lot more fun. There is a lot less competition and access to land is easier to gain if your just after small game, no one seems to care then.

I love hunting bunnies but the coyotes have really taken their share around here. In years past I'd have tons on my property this time of year but so far this year I've only seen one and have yet to get off a shot.

My bow is always with me while I check the trap line. I like small game hunting so much I dare say its my favorite thing to do with a bow.

I've been out a couple times after bunnies. Ryan I have a old chubby beagle to and a young skinny one. They make a good pair.
 I hope we get our snow back also its been raining and we have water standing.The only good thing was I found all my arrows from the mmmisses.
 The bunny population is down in my spots but we always head out with high hopes.

Ive gone out a few times I got within shooting range of a squirrel but had some limbs in the way. I have to agree small game hunting with a bow is one of my favorite things. For me alot more fun because you get to shoot more and always seems to be alot of action. I can recall one day I spent 4 hours in the woods stalking squirrels
