I've said this over and over on here.There is no way your going to make a dent in them by hunting.What you guys need to do is find a GOOD trapper to thin them for you.Just because a fella has caught a few coons before doesn't qualify him as a coyote trapper.A good fox trapper should be able to do a ...

Great pics Joey!I've noticed an abundance of baby rabbits too this year.Some so small they look like they just left the nest.

Looks like the same kinda stuff I ran in today.With just me,it made for some long runs before I could get a shot and poor shooting on my part made them even longer. :oops: You went out today? its rained a ton.. I wasn't brave enough to venture out with my new gun so I watched football and will try ...

Ran my 3 girls this morning in a slight drizzle and they were really hammering on track.As they were circling a rabbit,I see 6 deer jump from their beds right in front of them.Not a one even gave them deer a second glance as they plowed right thru their beds Sure is good to know I can trust them.

Oh,I'll be out there Joey lol.Yes I heard good chance of severe weather on Sat,but unless it 's just pouring down I'll try it.The dogs just get too wired up if the have to set out the weekend lol.

Looking good Joey!Seems to be lots of young rabbits this year.

Imp clyinder-7/8oz of #6 before snow
Mod-7/8oz #6 with snow
Mod-3/4 steel#6 in areas that require non=toxic shot.

Carry something small that can use .22 shorts that just make a small pop so no one will here it!!!

Go to the Iowa fish and games site and they have the results of road surveys on there.

Ain't that the truth ,Tim! I kill my fair share of rabbits,but spend lots of time looking for new spots.

I'll be out there from the opening to the end.We don't have an overabundance of rabbits and I hardly ever try for a limit.I'll kill a couple then just let the dogs run for awhile,but I do eat rabbit 2 or 3 times a week thru-out the season.

Missouri...Oct 1st....Can't wait!
