Old tricks still work (pics)
« on: October 21, 2011, 05:13:00 PM »
This was a fun one!!  Not a big trophy but brought me back to the mid to late eighties when rabbits were always on the menu for a young fella.
I jumped this rabbit up and watched him make for a brush pile.  Remembering some old tricks from when i was young I circled ahead and came up to the brush pile quietly from a totally different angle.  Knocked an arrow and started throwing some rocks behind were I suspected the rabbit.  Sure enough out he pops looking the other direction a quick shot and its lunch time. How the little things can make a hunt fun!  Joe

Sort of like throwing a rock to the opposite side of a tree to get a squirrel to switch sides!

NEVER thought of using it on brushpile bunnies!

GREAT SNEAKY TRICK!!!

A big rabbit too...almost need a tag when they are that big.

Great pics...great shot, and a great tip. Traditional bowhunting at it`s best!  :thumbsup:    :campfire:
