Tim, where in AK were you hunting?  I grew up in Fairbanks.  Sure do miss it up there...

Good going!

Thanks for the blunted Snuffer idea!  Got some old ones I'll fix up before next winter.

These days I shoot my scappy arrows tipped with a variety of blunts on risky shots and then shoot judos on shots with backstops of some sort or places where I think that I have a better chance of finding the arrow.

And I have to remember to make more of an effort to take some pictures too!

Thanks for taking us along and sharing.  A couple of my rabbit hunting buddys were in the U.P. of Michigan hunting them last week.  It was 77°F and no snow.  They had to switch up the dogs because they were getting to hot.

Thanks guys.

Archie- I'm in Kenai, but lived in Fairbanks for 10 years, still go back once or twice a year.  

Ken- ever tried snaros for ptarmigan ? I've just used rubber blunts and they work, but I'm hoping the snaros will be better in the snow, and maybe even try some aerial shots if I get in to them.

Tracker - that doesn't describe things here. The snow is still pretty deep for dogs, especially a beagle. When there's decent numbers of bunnies it works pretty well being your own dog, although hunting with someone else is usually more productive.

Archie-  A lot of the pics are in Sterling.

I love chasing snowshoes! Thanks for sharing.

That looks like a ton of fun. I've never considered hunting any kind of bunnies with a bow until I joined this forum. I usually chase them with a hawk, but I may have to try it with a bow this coming season.

awsome pictues and hunt, if those bunnies taste as good as the cottontails we have here in Illinois you have some fine table goodies . I like to deep fry like chicken.
