There's nothing like listening to a couple of beagles on a hot track. It's a great sound. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796854200504143841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-89293721312306568322009-08-04T11:24:06.286-07:002009-08-04T11:24:06.286-07:00This is giving me so many ideas for my next rabbit...This is giving me <em>so many</em> ideas for my next rabbit hunt!Holly Heyserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134909592916671876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-91249220821102070562009-08-04T11:18:15.257-07:002009-08-04T11:18:15.257-07:00Holly,

I absolutely love it, though. Rabbit hunting was one of my first hunting experiences, and still ranks right up there for me.<br /><br />Throw in some SimplyOutdoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074585345161430068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-63215494246488865472009-08-02T19:30:01.475-07:002009-08-02T19:30:01.475-07:00Well, Chas, we don't always get a real hard fr...Well, Chas, we don't always get a real hard frost here, so it's not an option for us. (And I hate to pass up an opportunity to hunt in the summer - pigs, rabbits and pigeons are just about all we can hunt right now.)<br /><br />What we do, though, is ALWAYS wear gloves while dressing them to look for telltale striations on the liver that would indicate tularemia.

Here's what you do:<br /><br />1) Buy a .22, or better yet, .22 wmr (non-lead option), or borrow my cousin's 10/22;<br /><br />2) walk about 30-50 yds. upwind and wait.<br /><br />Pretty soon, they'll start popping out of the woodwork.

I learned some things from what you wrote and have some things to think about for the next time I go rabbit hunting.<br /><br />Do you hold just a hair forward of the nose with the bead? <br />My theory is I have fewer pellets to remove when I do this, but I still have a vwery dead wabbit.
