Got out right before sunrise and had 5 in my vest by 6am. What a beautiful sunny morning in the hills. Saw quite a few trucks out.. surprising to see how popular rabbit opener's gotten. Fun times.
Some bunnies died today

Is that a 12gauge? Where do you point that thing so you don’t obliterate them?

if closer than 25 yards aim for the head, other wise any where, i like to use # 5 or 6 shot, steel will be slightly larger.
it's all non lead now, bismuth is more reasonable, almost as heavy as lead. but steel shot works, but has shorter range, practice at hitting clays.
Yeah 12 gauge.. shotgun doesn't really obliterate them unless you're super close, but the real issue with shotgunning bunnies are the #6 steel pellets that get buried in the meat. So head shots are preferred but it doesn't always work that way. I'd rather use my rimfires but my spots have gotten overgrown so a shotgun is my best bet right now.
Strong work Jason. I will be hunting similar terrain tonight. Lots of rabbits this year.
Way to save them from a long suffering death from the new bunny plague.

Make sure you wear masks and gloves fellas...them bunnys carry some shit!! Gross!!!
Forgive my ignorance, but I thought that it was safest to wait until after the 1st frost to kill off bacteria or something? Folklore?
Wives tail, I have eaten rabbits from every month of the year that the season was open. In Az it’s all year round
Folklore indeed.. I've had bunnies and jacks at all times of the year and have only had one that had botfly larvae under its skin. You're fine hunting them in months without an 'R'.
I want to try a botfly for catfish.
If I ever find another one I'll save it for you just to see what happens. Could be the next fad in baits.
I can wait to take my kids to Chase some rabbit this weekend

Got up to the spot around 7. Had the wife with me it was a good time. I went 2 for 3 and the wife danced with this snake. Almost got her.
