Let's start a Small Game Thread

[Roadkill]

We thumped the heck out of rabbits for the past two years, but we are really down this year.  I got one shot at dawn yesterday and the rest if the morning, nothing

[Thumper Dunker]

I get one or two bunnies some times.

Caught this little thief under the bird feeder last fall. He got lucky on two previous occasions, but three strikes, and he was out! 17yards, broad side, right behind the shoulder! Lol. Ruined the front quarters, but the hinds and back straps were tasty!

Remember the photo of Hill with the string full of bunnies and birds?  This small game thing was an obssesion with Hill. When that photo came out in the 60s, it justified my obssesion with birds, bunnies and bows. It needs to warm up a bit and I will be after them as well.

My first trad kill after taking up the sport in September. I thought I may have just got lucky, but have managed 2 more in the last few weeks!

Using a Simmons on a squirrel? That's just not even fair...  

[GreyGoose]

Does that CA bunny Bjorn is hoisting count as "small game"?   :confused:

Well I know but I had one that I missed a deer with a day or so earlier and I figured it was dirty so why not!        

Them sharks eat squirrel too!

I shot a fox squirrel a number of years ago with my Zwickey on a deer hunt...windy, small 6pt walked too far out...last day of season...cold and damp.  Squirrel kept taunting me on ground and shot and missed with my only judo point....then he goes up white oak and I try again with hunting arrow...shoot for shoulder area as he is facing straight away...missed.

THen he fell...broadhead sliced side of neck down to spine on one side so when it was mounted my buddy turned the head the opposite direction for my "missed shot"  Has a nasty frankenstein scar sew up on other side if neck LOL


 

[Red Beastmaster]

I shot my first groundhog with a compound, then I switched to stickbows and shot 293 more!

I've been at it for 28 years and can't wait for the spring thaw to get after them again.

Did I say I love to hunt groundhogs?

[D.J. Carr]

I'm going to try for a snow shoe hare in the next couple of weeks, those buggers seem to never stop when the dogs are on them, but it will be fun chucking some arrows in there direction.

[reddogge]

You are infinitely more successful at groundhog hunting than I am.

Here's a couple of pics from our annual rabbit hunt in Feb. This is from last year. We hit a couple more that got away and one lucky rabbit popped out a few feet in front of one of our group who shall remain nameless but he was eating a sandwich at the time. The rabbit didn't stay around to watch. Another stopped on a path between two of us and we had to manuever in order not to shoot each other. The rabbit escaped!

What fun these thing are.
