To add, the time you hunt is just like any big game.
You have to know what times they are the most active.
I have always found that early in the morning and from about 2 o'clock pm to about 5 o'clock pm to be the best time. Same with Rabbits!
I would not discount rabbit hunting because they are actually really fun to hunt and it is pretty easy. I use a .22 for both. Rabbits are great eating too.
