Out before 4am this morning (very warm morning at 81 degrees). Met SurfNHunt and he delivered on the rabbits.
It is my new favorite season. Fast action, good exercise, great back country, and the meat can be marinated so many different delicious ways.

Get out there everyone and enjoy this season (or consider it warming up for the Fall Seasons - waterfowl/deer).

I'm not going to post the results from today but will post a monthly total at the end of July.

Didn't get a limit of bunnies (came close) so I didn't feel like posting dead rabbit pics. But one of the bunnies was full of warbles! Nasty suckers.
 
Just a word to the wise: I've seen several posts today of folks handling rabbits with bare hands. Tularemia is a genuine threat. Use gloves. I always hunt rabbits with leather work gloves. I use the squeeze method to gut them and put the bunnies in a bag. I use latex gloves when skinning and butchering the raw meat. Again, this is just a word of caution: I know lots of you have done this for years with bare hands...
 
Sounds like a fun hunt. We're you hunting the edge of alfalfa fields? Some of those IV rabbits are so well fed, the things are like little chickens. Way to take on the heat and produce some game.

X2 I keep use latex gloves cleaning my rabitts, plus when I don't I can't get that rabbit smell off. I also take one of those 5 gallon camping jugs with me to wash the rabbit and hands. Just makes it easier.
 
Drew, I hunted CNF land, working the sagebrush and dead fall trees to flush em out (shotgun). Working the edges with a rifle doesn't work as well in this spot as it does in the IV.. they seem to tuck into the thick stuff early. And yep, I do the same thing with cleaning.. I also use latex gloves and bring a water container to rinse em after. Makes cleanup a breeze.
