A few months ago a friend out in rural Douglas county asked me to help him control his rabbit population. Since I was shooting near a house I opted to use the 22 revolver with a 4 inch barrel.
Now I'm trying to go out every weekend! Hunting rabbits with a pistol is crazy fun! I've hunted them with rifles and shotguns, but this is a whole new challenge. Now if I could just find someone with prairie dogs.
Yea! Sounds fun. I know guys in Utah who do it with clubs and headlights. I'd rather do it your way.
Let me know if you need any help out there[Coffee]

It's a kick with pistols, and you don't have to tote around a heavy rifle... more ammo instead.
It's legal year round on private property where the animal is causing damage. That said I don't hunt them in the warmer months since I like to make stew or sausage out of them and the cold weather helps kill off the sick ones.
Also, I have an 11 day old son at home so hunting may be limited in the fall.
Congrats! Your first?
Yep, first kid. He's. Great. I'm tired now but I can't wait to teach him fishing, biking, hunting, and camping.
Is that third rabbit missing his head?
Congratulations on the birth of your son. Only 12 years until he can go hunting with you (of course, he can "go with you" earlier, but to hunt too...).
