Well Saturday six of us went on our annual rabbit hunt. We have done this every year for the last 4 years. It is a great time, we use recurves, longbows or sling shots.

The deep snow had us all wondering if we would get any bunnies.

Well the first area we hunted, we took 3 rabbits in about 2 hours. Two were taken with recurves and one with a slingshot. The deep snow seemed to slow the rabbits down, but they would only run a short distance and hole up.

We hunted the rest of the day with no luck. We never seen another rabbit all day, they seemed to hole up after the morning hours. Last year we had no snow and took 3 bunnies, the year prior we had perfect conditions, (3 inches of snow) and took 5.

Well I finally got my pictures from our rabbit hunt developed. Bob took 2 with his Black Widow Recurve, and Brian 1 with his slingshot.

Nice job!. I have a new beagle thats just getting started. I have a couple of friends that hunt bunnies with a bow with me,what a great way to enjoy the outdoors. what size ammo did you use with the sling shotand at what range can you shoot a rabbit with it?

Great job guy's. I just last weekend put a group of guy's together with a darn good half dozen beagles in Newberry MI. We hunted Saturday and Sunday in tough conditions but had a great time. I saw 9 rabbits, missed 1. Score Rabbits 20, hunters 0. But we had more fun than they did, (I think).
