6 Jack limit per day is too high for sure and although I love hunting them with a varmint rifle, I don't know if it is great for the population long term.
I myself set a limit of 2 to 4 total per season depending on the numbers that I am seeing. 3 Jacks is a lot of meat, a handful of good hunts and a box of ammo.
It should be 2 per person a day!
Fully agree with that.Quote:

He as well as I have hunted these Jacks for many many years and remember the good times when they were very plentiful. Hunting them is not the reason for their downward spiral, it has to do with habitat and the explosion of the coyote population.
Great shots. We hunted them years ago in the area. There were some big rabbits, especially having to carry them around all day until you got back to the truck. Great eating too.
