"Rabbit hunting is tough even with a beagle and a 20 guage. Good luck to u brother."
Thats a very true statement. I hunt rabbits a TON once deer season closes. When the cycle is up, I think a dog actually slows a guy down.
Right now rabbits are down in my spots. I use a bow on private land and a 20 on the state land. Heres my thinking......the state land rabbits are going to get shot anyway. Take 'em. My young beagle needs to see a dead rabbit at the end of the trail once in awhile. The private land bunnies, I hunt with a longbow, that way I don't actually HURT any
Keep 'em around for next week...
My most success with rabbits and a bow is no dog, fresh snow, and pick a track. Stick to it, stalk it, and get a close sitting shot. Looking for that "black liquid eye" we all read about as kids really works.
