So do you hunt more for the meat or trophy lucky rabbit feet and trophy squirrel tails? Or maybe it's the being outside and the experience. Possibly just to rack up numbers! And/or some of all of them.



2nd part what's your life time kill #s for each and do you break it down further to species and sex?

for the enjoyment of hunting. squirrel and rabbit both are great eating, much better than deer. no trophy hunting or keeping tails or feet and never kept track of the numbers or sex or anything.

just hunt for the enjoyment and love eating them.

I hunt for the sport and eat what I kill.

love to small game hunt, love to eat it all, love being in the woods, great way to get kids in the outdoors,

could not have said it better. saving my cc cash back to buy a real nice flintlock rifle

Never been a numbers guy for game. I do hunt squirrels and rabbits some years and enjoy being outdoors doing it and the meat I get. Everything has a different taste and a hundred recipes.

I rabbit hunt with beagles. I train them and run them year around. I dont kill many, only if the old farmers want me to shoot them one. For me, the trophy is the hunt and how the hounds handle the chase of the rabbit.

For me its all about the enjoyment and food for the table.I also enjoy using dogs for both.

I see what you did there....

Nothing better than a tree full of grays cutting hickory nuts in August except the eating quality of grays is the best

For me, it's the food and getting out, all by myself. To chase rabbit and squirrel I don't need fancy camo or equipment. Don't need to be up at 4:00 AM.
My favorite rifle is my Marlin bolt action .22.

I very much enjoy eating fried rabbit and squirrel

some of my great hunting memeries are of hunting small game,birds and rabbits make up most of the game we ate as young adults living on are own with big game and fish filling in the meals on the days we where not successful the only thing i hunt and dont eat that i hunt are coyotes and fox

Love to listen to beagles chasing a rabbit.

Around here I hunt them because they are a pest. They eat chicken feed, leave pine cones and mushrooms in our conex, and just shred the bags of dog food.

As a kid my dad & I would hunt cottontails on Sunday mornings after a fresh snow. We’d track & jump rabbits and we’d switch-off being the “stander” with Pa’s Model 12 while the other of us would “bark’em around”! I raised my boys to rabbit hunt the same way. It was easy shooting for the kids because the rabbits would tight-circle slowly as compared to a dog but it was a big deal and a ton of fun.

For the meat for the most part...Not so many rabbits, maybe 500'ish, but squirrel count runs in the 1,000's easy, maybe more.

Flintlock muzzleloader & .22 rifle on squirrels...Shotgun for rabbits.

Not sure about the sex percentage ratio, but more males overall.

When I was young fried squirrel was a common meal, so I have always hunted and ate them. Rabbits were hit and miss (no pun Intended) as far as populations were concerned but still shot quite a few each year. 22 rifle and 32 TC Seneca for squirrels and 3/4 ounce #5 shot for rabbits. Hundreds of rabbits in my life and well over a thousand squirrels since I started hunting both on my own at around 10 YOA.

My favorite type of hunting, I don’t know the count but a lot have been taken with my .32.
I really need to buy a small caliber flintlock.
