Some Fresh Air !

[Will]

Well hasn't been a Post in here about actual "Hunting" in quite awhile so here's some fresh air.....

Took a walk down one of my favourite Bunny roads...couldn't get out for an afternoon walk which would have been my preference so a Morning one had to do.
Looking back down the road...

Wasn't long before I was cutting Bunny Tracks in the fresh snow...

Sadly didn't see a single Rabbit....not unusual for the morning though in my experience.
I will return for a late afternoon in a day or two:p

Should be more productive !


This was the only critter other then lots of deer I seen.......


He was however, already dead ! :redface:

No but considering here they are open from Aug 1 through the winter till April 30th..........they come pretty darn close to it:wink:

I will post up some "success" pics when and if I actually Poke one this winter...:rolleyes:

Not sure what Killed that Yote but the buzzards sure picked him clean alright ! :D

are you hunting them with a bow?
Yes........with 48#s of pull it should have sufficient penetration:lol:

Thanks Will, with the negative air of some of the more visited threads this is trully a breathe of "fresh air". Consider your self lucky, I would love to take a stroll down that road when I had the time too!

[Stone Sheep Steve]

That'd be my guess..... the back feet were still on and I could see where the skin was cut pretty cleanly around each ankle so I'm guessing somebody shot a yote, skinned it and dumped it there for the Crows.

You figured out my little jest.........:tongue::smile::wink:

[steveo32]

I've seen a few around town......all still packing.

Did see two on this outing a small 2 and a 3x3....both still packing.

PeterPan...........?
I sold that hat years ago........or did I use it for TP ?
I can't recall.........:lol:

[Grandbois]

That pic is bad ass, there are a few good spots around the loops for those silly rabbits, hopefully you arrow one soon, that'd be sweet

[Mr. Dean]

And what would be your point blank range on a bunny, w/ a 48# pull, using the arrows that you're flinging??? :razz:


We'll get into wind drift and inclines later... :wink:

Nice Thread.
The ambiance is SOOO good, it's just as soothing as therapy. :smile:
Look forward to seeing some pics.

I can go 3 for 3 from 12 Meters on my Bunny target at home...should do the trick assuming I ever see anything standing in a track ! ;-)

That right there is the trick w/ bunny's (getting under 40' of them). You have a challenging hunt ahead of you, :tongue: Robin Hood :tongue:


Ya might wanna come down here (reg 2) and try your luck on my Trophy Squirrels sometime... They scare the crap outta some. :rolleyes:

Bow Walker is dying to try... Maybe between the two of you, you could pool together the access fee. :smile:

http://forums.naturalparenting.com.au/images/smilie/hide.gif I'm working my way up the ladder of game animals. Soon to be able to think about gettin one of those scary dritters. :shock: :wink:
