Wilder Than a March Rabbit
« on: March 28, 2007, 12:38:00 AM »


Our MI rabbit season runs to March 31. Shot these two rabbits in a half hour after work last night. They seemed more stupid than wild. I think I could have shot more, but I lost my left contact lens. LOL

Woodduck, not to mention the stripe in the longbow riser and the lucky rabbit foot. Good color coordination is a must for a successful hunt.

Nice going! Our season is closed now, a lot of them show back up in the warmer weather.

Hey Ian, I carry judos and hex blunts for rabbits. Shot these two with judos. It is a 79# Widow longbow with Beman Mfx shafts. The results were similar to a .22 long rifle with hollow points

Hey Denny are those the tame rabbits that were living right behind your shop?   :rolleyes:

This is the breeding season, did you get them both with one shot?   :biglaugh:

Ron, I already shot the "tame" rabbits on the range. You never showed up to hunt so I decided to take them out. LOL, These were junkyard rabbits.
