Wife finally took back yard off limits

[L. E. Carroll]

I have been kidding her for years about culling cottin tails around our place... She always says if I do she'll "Cull" me.

Well last night they ate her flower beds down to the dirt!!! 2 weeks working in the flower beds and $$ down the drain...    

Boy has her story changed!!!! the Hunts on!!

Good luck and post pics!

Use the correct head.  Field points are not for bunnies.  I learned that the hard way.

I had the same problem years ago, rabbits eating the beans as soon as they came up in the garden.

I caught one sitting in the flower bed and made a perfect shot (I thought) with a field pointed arrow. Well, the rabbit took off through the neighborhood looking like a shish kabob.

I could see the news crews filming this horrible case of "animal cruelty", police cars racing to the scene and me being let away in handcuffs to face two life sentences for the heinous crime of putting my green bean crop above some cute, fuzzy animals life.

I ran like a mad man through some of my neighbors yards and finally cornered the rabbit, stomped him to death and quickly retreated back to the safety of my yard.

Moral to this story, use a broadhead.

Eric,
That would have been headline news around here if someone had witnessed that with a cell phone camera.

Good to hear you are going to be given a pass to hunt the backyard.

I have deer in my yard regularly. Last season I saw a respectable 10 pointer in my yard on 2 separate occasions.  He even trashed a white pine Christmas tree from a year ago.  The second day of shotgun season, I saw him and a doe 75 yards or so from my front door.  I set a up a stand close to where I saw him, and my wife sat on our front room couch with binoculars and a vodka and ginger ale, and watched me in my stand.  I was given permission to shoot the buck, not any of HER does and fawns.

Don't have permission to chase bunnies in the yard but the only thing we found that keeps them from munching the unmunchables is crushed red pepper. Buy a JUMBO shaker of the stuff at the dollar store, sprinkle it around the goodies in the garden and those fuzzy little critter won't go near it.

So what type of tip do you use to kill a rabbit? just a bullet tip?

[slivrslingr]

Broadhead.

[elkslayer]

If ya need help Gene let me know I will be glad to plug a few bunnies...

[Wolfkiss]

Hex steel blunt or rubber blunt, like they have been hit by a train! internal trauma is massive.

[L. E. Carroll]

I use the hex steel blunts and I guess I should clarify a little, We live in a log cabin in the woods on a little over 7 acres.....so it's a big back yard.

Hoping the deer continue eating all of the buds off of the roses and the dogwood trees...

Judos work well. And even field dress the rabbit for you!

[Shaun]

Heavy bow and Manny's tarantula (Bludgeon point with cut in crown notches) well anchor them with no chasing around. Good Hunting!

[BUFF]

Montec makes a great small game head

[BowHuntingFool]

I agree, that SGH from G5 is a beast of a head, pretty stout as well!
