Sorry to hear about the cousin. That sucks. On a different note that may be one of the most epic afros I have seen.

Do you mind if I ask what your bunny technique is?
I passed through an area with a whole bunch of tracks walking to a coyote stand the other day, but I'm not sure how I would ever find them and get a clean shot.

Slick.. there a couple ways we used that day .. track them down so if you have a fresh snow then if you go where they are and take a walk then when you push one up and u can see its fresh ..it usually takes a couple minutes to see them as you track them through the bush always look ahead and if your partner is on one side the better
by looking head I mean also moving your head up and down 3 ft changing the angle you are looking ahead ..keeping tracking and moving(stalking) ..then when you see them try to keep them in eye sight if they run but move slower as you try and spot before they run.. head shot for us
The second way is we will drive roads where they cross or sit in the bush/trees .. then it becomes how slow can you go.. and again I will go from a tall man looking to a child looking out that rolled down window .. you could do this along coulees or willow bunches you have access ..out here its crown land and a cutline or a mill road
My bro was commenting to me the other day that we are seeing less as the high cycle is over
But if you look/track/stalk
That Waskle Wabbit is still there
Ps I am always looking at all times
Food for Thought

Speckle,
Thanks a lot. That was kind of what I figured you would do. First light/evening would probably the best time to catch them moving, right?
I have seen some people hunting on TV with big groups and pushing out bush, but I figured you were up to something else with just 2.
I might have to go and check out that spot again this weekend...

Hey Speckle... With your number counts from the past two years, I am wondering how big an area you are harvesting and if you are maybe overharvesting an area, lowering the numbers?
I am not criticizing you or jealous in any way. Merely wondering how big an area you are hunting.

Personally, I'd probably be better off hunting them with a shotgun than a 22, unles they stay very very still as I get nice and close. LOL I think a 20 gauge would be a nice grouse/rabbit gun.

Nice Hunting!
My favourite rabbit gun is an old Cooey single shot 16 ga. that I re-did. Works like a charm!
