Evening or morning better for rabbit hunting?
« on: November 22, 2008, 03:54:00 PM »
I went out to look for bunnies this morning for the first time. Saw three deer and a cyote but no rabbits. I did find a lot of rabbit pellets and trails, but not the little furry guys themselves. What time of day is best for finding rabbits in your experience? I'm hunting a patch of small cedars that's pretty thick. I don't have any dogs or anyone else to push them out of hiding, so I'm hoping just to find them feeding somewhere. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've found that mid morning thru mid-day to be the best time to catch them sitting out.

Any time, especially before a snow or storm. Key in on the brush piles and other cover. They will hold up and let you walk by unless they think you have seen them.
Slow moving, and look for their eye.
Good luck.

I do best late afternoons and on cloudy days. Unless it is super cold sunny days are not great, that bright light hurts their eyes! Shawn

Anytime it's not dark.
