Rabbit Hunt Part 2

ilovesprig · Jul 2, 2017

Went out with Jacob this morning. And I could tell it was going to be better than yesterday in basically the same area....Jacob started it off with about a 45 yd pellet gun shot on the 1st bunny at 5:15 am....He then hit 3 more in a row....Then missed one....Then got #5 with his .17.

Since we saw so many more, I got on the gun and started with about 80 yd'er with the .17....3 in a row with the pellet gun....Then missed one at 10 yds. 3 times, before I finally bagged him....Geeze!.....lol....We were done with 10 by 6:45.

Did some driving around, since it was so early....More poults seen with sizes ranging from barely 3" tall to some that were almost as big as there mother.

ps.....Found the motherlode of bucks too....

Kevin,

It's called a Jaccard meat tenderizer....I got it by luck and it's the slickest item I've ever had for wild game....I use it on everything now....Tenderizes like you can't believe and by putting your rubs on 1st, it injects it into the meat, while tenderizing.

Nicely done Steve. The hunt looked like a lot of fun and paid dividends at the dinner table.

BTW: I like the big fireplace.

Thanks so much, I'll have to get one of those things for my recently harvested bunnies!

Beats my normal procedure of stabbing with a fork 500 times. Thanks

ilovesprig · Jul 2, 2017

Thanks guys......I found (literally) this thing back before duck season....It is unbelievable how much better ducks, geese, venison, doves taste....I know I'll be bringing to Montana and Canada with me.....
