Rabbit hunting pics,
« on: January 17, 2013, 12:02:00 PM »
I've got to say, I'm impressed by those shots made on cottontails I've been seeing.  That ain't easy,  While deer and such are a bit harder to get close to, they offer a much bigger target and I'm not trying to make light of those trophies.  But those rabbits?  Especially the head shots, that's like hitting a golf ball.  You all that post those are some exeptional bow hunters. In my whole life I've only connected on maybe 3 with an arrow.

I've got a few bunny pics of different sub species and different locales. Always fun. Always challenging. Always tasty.

Shot this one through his neck on the run. Again, I meant to do that. Bill Langer captured it on film.      :goldtooth:

I use mostly Ace Hex Heads but Ill also shoot fieldpoints if theyre in thick brush. Those Hex Heads are deadly on them. Gonna try VPAs this week. Cant wait.

Just a warning to any folks hunting bunnie with trad gear for the 1st time with Hex Heads and such. Be very careful shooting into thick brush at close range bunnies. A springy branch or twig will fling an arrow back at you and a nock of an arrow could do some severe eye damage..

Izzy. Right on.  I had a fence sling an arrow back.  Great unique sound, but so unexpected.

So Charlie....just how close to achieving the Hare/rabbit slam are you?  And how many sub-species is there anyway....anybody know?

Loved your book, BTW, Charlie!

Mark,

There are a lot more sub species than I have means to hunt them... though it's a great goal.
I've done eastern cottontail, mountain cottontail, desert cottontail, whitetail jack, blacktail jack, and snowshoe hare.

My buddies and I in Wyoming had our own "slam" but it was pretty simple though surprisingly difficult.
We had to take a snowshoe hare, jackrabbit and cottontail all in the same day. I pulled that one off a few times.

Glad you enjoyed the book buddy!
