Rabbit/Squirrel hunt

[vossman]

A friend and I went up to the north end of Divide yesterday to find some rabbit. We walked several miles but nothing, saw a few tracks but didn't see anything. Didn't even hear a squirrel which would have been an OK alternative meat source
Snow was pretty deep, 8+ inches so we figured that was the reason they weren't out. Scenery was great and it was a nice winter day, good exercise too.
Anyone got any tips on finding the bunnies?

You can be 10 feet from them and they will play "I'm a rock!" Look closely at your surroundings. If you saw tracks you saw rabbits too, just didn't recognize the.

Come over to my neighborhood, the bunnies are everywhere here.
every spring I get 5 - 10 of the little ones trapped in my window wells. Needless to say, they get euthanized and disposed of........

I'm interested in rabbit "hunting". There are tons of them around my house. I've even found them in my crawl space. The local story goes that there was a guy raising them up the road in the 50's and 60's and all of his rabbits escaped one night. Not sure if that's true or even if it matters 50 years later, but there are tons of them around.

Do guys usually shoot them with a .22 or a shotgun? Either/or? I could safely sit on my deck and pick them off if I wanted to.

We use 22 pistols with SP only. No Hollow Points and head shots only. It's more of a competition with those i hunt with.

I hunt snowshoe hares up near Jefferson in the wintertime. You can make a pretty good stew with 2 or 3.

If they run a good shrill whistle will make them pause long enough for a clean shot
