Rabbit hunting today.

[Delvehound]

So far this season, I've got 14 rabbits, all on private land down near Franktown. If you go on a really cold and nasty day, right after a snow the bunnies are stupid easy to find, flush, and shoot. So far I've just used a 22wmr, doing head shots at around 10 - 50 yds. After I get done or need to get going somewhere, I just dress all of 'em before i leave the area. Give the coyotes and other preds something to eat. I've been going down there in the mornings, around 7:30 or so, and hunting till about 10:30. After that, they seen to hunker down, like they know I'll shoot them if they're in the open. I have to admit, this is the first season I've had any success with cotton tails. Also, I heard from an older buddy of mine who's hunted his whole life that jack rabbits are way more gamey, and tough, same goes for pine squirrels.

Plenty of rabbits around my office building that I've offered to do something about but got told no.

There are a bunch in and around my neighborhood. I'll catch a couple one of these days.

Emeril Lagasse has a bada** rabbit stew recipe I've made a few times. Great with some stout or porter.

Wtf are liver spots?

X2? I have heard to only hunt them in the cold winter for sake of lice but haven't heard about liver spots.

I believe it's called tularemia.
