First rabbit success

[samiam]

First successful hunt for jacks. Was out south of Barstow. Third try at this and finally successful. Walked for three and a half hours with nothing and then saw three within 40 minutes. Two shots, two rabbits. Pics are both of the second one. Forgot to get a pick of the first. After I got the first one I was too caught up with trying to remember how to skin/gut the thing. Still have yet to see a jack standing still so I've determined I just need to keep walking. Walked past the first one and he bolted 10 yards behind me, got a shot around 20 yards out. Second one was about 30 yards out as I was able to take my time and wait for the right shot.

This could get addicting as long as I can make them edible. Plan on brining and smoking them.

Good job samiam - now get back out there and do it again!

Get out there before sunrise. As the sun comes up they like to sit on the west side of bushes. Skylighted! .223 time!

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback. I'll definitely get back out there soon. Now to find a spot for quail!

congrats, that's a fat jack... our desert jacks are mostly skin and bones
