Today marks the end of Rabbit season here, had a 1/2 day hunt in Floyd Co. Va. We were hunting in an area with heavy cover and a county with a high predator rate and 1 rabbit was taken.Several rabbits were scented but close to heavy cover(many holes to escape too).Had a wonderful time in a beautiful place,man,dog,nature,together,it was exceptional.A days successful hunt is not the quota but the experience itself.Going to open a good bottle of wine to celebrate ,cahas

    That round was(in my opinion)developed expressly for that purpose. I would try to use it on nothing larger than Fox.
    The .17HMR is perfect for the job, yet a bit costley. For "plinking, that is. I figger to do a "JOB" like saving your bunnies,,, well worth the extra few bux! Remember... Take the pressure off the rabbits, they can "bounce-back" in a hot hurry!

    fishkiller41,we shot a Bobcat this season in the flatlands,in our most hunted area.I wonder how many rabbits they can wipe out in a day.

    ALL cats kill for fun. That's the problem. A * or Opossum will kill to eat, then sleep.Cats will kill for the sake of killing.For fun.

    Our bunny season ends on March 30th. I get a rabbit or two about every 2 out of 3 times out I'd say. And if your thinking about eradicating predictors that eat bunnies, don't forget to shoot the hawks too.

    I said that facetiously because hawks like bobcats and foxes eat alot of rabbits.
