Turkeygirl Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I went out yesterday about 4:30pm. We have 14 acres of land, about half is pasture and half is woods. So far I have gotten 2 rabbits out of our woods and last night I saw 2 more but no shot! The first one ran out from under a small brush pile and when I swung my gun up, it got caughto n a stinking tree branch! The second rabbit, which was a big one, ran out, behind some brauch then came out again and circled half around me. Problem was even though I had a shot, I couldn't shoot unless I wanted to hit a bunch of sumac trees! Oh well, tonight is another chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Re: Rabbit hunted in our woods yesterday Next time, shoot through the branches. Bunnies aren't too durable. About a month ago I flushed a bunny that ran from my left, across the front of me and then down the fenceline to my right. As I swung on him, I shot once when he was in front of me, then one more time as he was at my right quarter. I thought I missed because of the dense briars and stuff, but it turned out I put one little pellet in his chest cavity, and I found that rabbit 50 yards down the fence line.

longislandhunter Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: Rabbit hunted in our woods yesterday True, doesn't really take too much to take down a bunny. If you've got a shot take it,,, even a couple of pellets will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Re: Rabbit hunted in our woods yesterday yup, i agree with the other guys on this one. it sure doesnt take much to take down a rabbit. as long as a few pellets hit him, there's a good chance of a kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
