I do love daylight rabbit hunts with a 22

cotton tails are one of my favorite wild game to hunt AND eat.

Our rabbits turn white up here. Those must stick out like a sore thumb?

We got both around here.I like it when the snowshoe hairs turn white here,,then we get a thaw.They look like Clorox jugs running through the woods.LOL I find the cotton tails much better eating.

Most of the time the cottontails are holed up in thick cover, so they just look like rocks. They do stick out when they make a break for it.

I love stalking them with a 22.

I can't remember the last time I saw one in the woods around here, used to be a bunch. Good eats Bigfoot.

We used to hunt them on drives.
one guy armed with a .22 pistol would work thru the thick stuff in the creek bottom while 2 standers with .22 rifles would wait by the escape cover.
Some days the driver would get lots of rabbits as they would sit tight and you almost had to step on them to get them running and other days the standers would be getting all the action.

Great fun!
And good eats afterward!

Good eats and one of the better red meats for you..

Looks like my kind of a morning!

I used to hunt them a lot in ND. Those were the days

Cool. Really cool.

Rabbit and squirrel are two of my favorite meats.

Fried rabbit mashed tatters and milk gravy made in the same skillet you fried the rabbit in one of my favorite meals when I was a kid and still is

Funny. About forty years ago now, I was so pee poor that my wife and I basically lived off rabbit. She was a genius of coming up with recipes; Curried rabbit. Sweet 'n sour rabbit. You name it.

But, to this day, just seeing that photo almost made me want to throw up! The thought of putting rabbit in my mouth truly disgusts me now.

Weird how I'm looking forward to tonights lamb steak. Another animal which just bites grass all day. Meat couldn't be more different though. Strange, how nature works.

Think I'll give my mind a rest now!

Thats good eatin right there! Bunny backstraps, biscuits and bacon for breakfast

What kind of rabbits are they, I don't think cottontails turn white.

Cottontail is my second favorite small game, right behind squirrel.

Pest's Dad, I do understand, as when i was in college in the late 60's I was paying my own way through school, and could afford very little.For Christmas one year I got 6 boxes of .410 shotgun shells, and thereafter I fixed rabbit as fried, baked, boiled, roasted, fricaseed (sp), tetrazini (sp), and rabbit salad sandwiches every day for lunch for over a year. I haven't had rabbit since then.

Lugnut, Here in the Dacks & other northern climates "white rabbits" are Snowshoe Hare . The brown bunnies are eastern cottontail . If a person can find good Hare habitat w/ population, could have a fun hunt w/ a good dog. 60's & 70's were GREAT. Days of yesteryear around me. Tut

Cotton tails don't turn white.Varying Hares turn white.We call them Snowshoe Rabbits here cause their feet are so big.

Has a rabbit in a fox set . It was breakfast for the fox I guess. lol
just
