I have a 22 cal pellet gun and want to go chase them. Shot one with my bow a couple years ago because I wasn't finding and deer so I put away the rifle and started rabbit hunting hoping I might fool the deer. It didn't work but I got a delicious rabbit and should have had a couple more! That was also up by Craig... Just too far to drive for rabbits... I'm sure they are much closer just not sure where either! Good luck! Had great time hunting rabbits in Michigan with beagles and are bows! When my son is old enough we will definitely be rabbit hunting
