Started out this mornning doing some squirrel control,lots of little ones out but they are tiny targets.

The damage they do besides stripping trees of thier fruit.

The next place was going to try to call in some jacks . Did a few soft meows on the fawn call. Seen something coming in but was not jackrabbit.

Did some lip squeeks and the next thing I know its buddy was right on top of me!,messed that up.

In another spot found a good spot . Did the soft meow stuff and one comes right in ,took a shot and it goes down then pops back up and runs about tweenty yards and drops.Lookto my fight and see another one but its in some tall grass. A few lip sqeeks and it stands up nice and tall. I shoot it spins and takes off and I lose it in the tall grass. Had to hunt for that one.Number one arrow and jack.

Number two arrow and jack.

both were bucks,tailgate shot.Think I need to take more arrows with me.The call I use is on my hat it a real old fawn call. It has taken lots of coyotes and jackrabbits.

.
Can't wait to get back out there.

Seriously, a jack rabbit comes in to a fawn call? Or am I reading it wrong?

Thumper Dunker · « **Reply #13 on:** May 24, 2011, 04:22:00 PM »

Too Many I was calling coyotes a few years back and jacks would come in from time to time ,so I tried just calling them in . Any rabbit type call will work but I like the sound of my old fawn call. Make soft (Friendly ) meow type sounds , they come into lip squeeks also. Have no clue why. We also have lots and lots of jack rabbits and the bucks do not like each other.

That looks like a lot of fun and some food for the pot also.

Nice pics Thumper. I've called in Jackrabbits when coyote hunting many times. I think it is a territorial/mating thing that brings them in. They either want to find love or kick some rival butt while its at a disadvantage. This is kind of proven out by the fact the ones you shot were bucks. Have you ever had females come in?
