The saturday after thanksgiving i went out on the last pheasant hunt of the year. Just as i walked into a small stand of brushy trees i bumped a rabbit. I took a shot but missed, as i wasnt expecting it. Or i suck at shooting. Either one...oh well.
Anyway, it made me want to find a rabbit or two. Anyone target rabbits in January and February? That one was the first id ever seen in a huntable area. Wondering if you guys know about any WMAs in western mass that youve had good luck looking for cottontails, preferably without a dog.
On a related note, this was my second season hunting pheasant. Last year i got two, and i matched that this year, however, the two i got last year were 2/3 i saw. This year i saw probably 10 that i had a shot at, maybe 15 total. Remember that point about crummy shooting? Anyway, It was a great year and ive even gotten a bonus 3 squirrels.
