Well with a fresh dusting of snow and temps around the freezing mark, I decided to go on a cottontail hunt.
Conditions where perfect and ended up bagging my limit. All rabbits where found hiding under fallen tree's.
My gsp and 28ga did there job. Hope all the rabbit hunters on here are enjoying the winter season as well.

Perfect weather for a bunny hunt today.
Well done, congrats to both you, & your gsp!
It was the perfect day to get out, congrats on some good eating
What shells do you use for rabbits with the 28?
Kickingfrog I use 3/4oz # 6's and they work great.Quote:

Wow. Reminds me of the old days when rabbits were so plentiful. Well done. When's dinner? :)
Congrats to both of you!
Good to know. I don't find too many bunnies when I'm out for grouse (I got one this year and can't remember the last time I took a shot at one). I usually carry some #5's or 4's just incase when I have a 20 gauge but when I've had my 28 I'd have passed on a bunny thinking that 3/4 oz of 6's just wasn't enough.
Great hunt!
Just curious, does your dog flush the rabbits for you? Or just point?
Awesome! I miss my bunny hunting...
She points them. She has been trained to be steady to shot.Quote:

Do you still have a beagle?
Good looking hunt! The snowshoe numbers are down where I hunt and have been for years. I thought it was just my area but from your comment Sharon, it's at least somewhat widespread.
Thanks for sharing fishhawk and congrats!
Nice hunt congrats on the limmit
Thanks for sharing.

My current beagle is trained as a deer dog. She'll take a rabbit chase too, but running her in southern Ontario is risky. I might just have to get out and do some good ol' kickin' & stompin' myself.Quote:

Friends go for jackrabbits every year around Boxing Day and this year they were a group of four hunters who returned empty-handed.
You are definitely in a good area and your dog is doing a fine job too, so enjoy your success!!!
Thanks for the comment Hawkman. I am seeing less jacks every year it seems, they where so common at one time.Quote:
