Re: Killed a few birds yesterday

Cool. I drove through IV on the way to Tucson yesterday. Lots of euros and pigeons both sides of I-8.

You sure that's a jack?

Someone else in SoCal posted a picture of a "Jack" one time on a forum..........It's still one of the great moments of outdoor forum chat........... :D
 
Are you readily able to tell the difference between a eurasian and another species? As a novice, it seems like I'd be setting myself up for breaking the law if I went after eurasians alone.

It's hard to tell them apart but it's possible don't shoot unless your 100% certain of the species. I tell them apart by a squarish tail and white on the tips of the tail feathers
 
Mike,

They're actually pretty easy to tell the difference between the mourning doves......White wings can be a little more difficult because the shape of the head and the square tail......Also, mourning doves fly differently.....Mourning doves will fly quite low often and they dart......Euros fly higher when coming in and drop fast. They also fly more with a loping motion.....Normally a big difference in size too.

Let's go out some day.

For the record it's a young jackrabbit I'm 100% sure just by looking at the ears it's kinda hard to tell from the photos tho here's the pic

Definitely a jack.. a young guy for sure, those pigeons and euros are almost as big as him haha
Ya he was young and stupid lol me and my dad had shot about 10 birds each and he pops out at 20 yards and he just stands their for long enough to determine he was a jackrabbit and my dad shoots him and wounds him and he starts to run away so I open the action on my gun and run after him and shoot him at 30 yards when he was nearly over a cliff
 
Yep it is a juvenile for sure. No worries Luke. Nice job.
 
Is this a jack or cottontail?......Trying not to "Jack" the thread....... ;)
