I went this morning, shot a couple wabbits but not interesting enough to take pics. Also saw a hen with some young ones.Baldkrash said:Didn't really matter as I didn't see a single rabbit this morning :'(
Always good to hear people are seeing poults. Up in the Central Valley Neil sees lots of turkeys, but no babies at all this yearSurfNHuntSD said:I went this morning, shot a couple wabbits but not interesting enough to take pics.

have you had luck in the past or are you just starting out.

These are my hopefully helpful hints.
look for lower grassy rolling hills, lower elevation. between 1000-4000 feet.
try to scout early mourning right at daybreak. rabbit are nocturnal. I have seen them running around all night.
look for open rolling fields & mixed of low lying brush and mixture of both.
look for signs of rabbit pellets, & trails with tracks. look for grass & brush. that's what they like to feed on. just beware these areas are also the hunts of rattlers, so keep your eye's on the ground. I use snake chaps this time of year. and boots that cover my ankles.
Good luck man if your live in San Diego I will PM you if I get a chance to go. right now in the middle of getting stuff organized. I mostly use a 12 gage with 6 shot. hahaha because it's easier for me.

Just wanted to say thank you for the general tips, from someone trying to learn hunt in NE LA County.

As of late though I've had good success in the mornings brush busting the bunnies that are denned up already. Its always fun and good practice swinging the shotgun on a fast rabbit.
