I think there's a bunny in there somewhere.

I'm trying to remember how many states I've rabbit hunted in... at least a half a dozen or more. This one was taken on an Illinois deer hunt.

Almost any cottontail is more tender and tastier than those tough little Texas bastards.

Man you guys are doing great!  I can hit a 40lb pig in the heart at 15 paces but I cannot hit a rabbit in the head at 10.  They are my nemesis.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

I wish I had more rabbits in my area, I have 2 beagles that love to run rabbits but I never shoot because too often already the dogs will work a patch of briars and turn up with nothing because the rabbits just aren’t here

Our place had a good population when we bought it.  I understand rabbit populations are cyclic.  But we also had a bumper crop of coyotes and bobcats.  We've been working on the relentlessly for the last few years.  We ate starting to see a few the last two years but I'm not at the point I'd take more than a couple.
This time of year I'll put out some alfalfa bales for the deer and the rabbits are always in it too.  But it's hard to afford the amount needed across 270 acres.

My main problem is a neighbor lady who has 30 plus (probably more now since she collects any stray she comes across) cats that she lets roam free, people have no idea how destructive cats are to small wildlife

Yes sir.  They don't survive around our place.  Too hard on quail, song birds, etc.
