Well my usual hunting spot got pounded with snow over the past 24hrs...Can't make it up there til after xmas, but I am itchin to get out to do some bunny hunting. Most of the hares around my home have all changed to white, which is really convenient since everything is still green...haha. Anyone been out lately??
 
My Dad was out in our bush last week and came across a snowshoe in full white. He said it was like watching a mash mellow trying to hide in a cup of hot chocolate (no snow out there yet).
 
Got three in Dunnville on the weekend. My 8 year old son, a buddy and myself. Buddy brought his beagle and we kicked up all kinds of bunnies. Ether the rabbits are getting faster or I'm getting slower. Almost forgot, Buddy blasted a coyote at 5yds with his 20ga.
 
I got one last week by fluke. My bird dog started him which was kinda strange. I heard him let out 1 sharp bark, which he also normally doesnt do, then was on the chase. It came running back in my direction with the dog not far behind and i popped him with a single shot 410.
 
Couple buddies and I have been out almost everyday (since are students on holidays) and have been seeing and shooting lots of em. The fresh snow we just had here in Southern Ontario certainly helps!
 
More bunnies than I've seen for a few years. In Sask, we call them bush bunnies, not sure if they are cottontail, definitely not jack rabbits.
 
I live south of the GTA and the only rabbits I see (sadly) are in peoples gardens every once in a while. All the woods around here has next to nothing in it.

Boy do I need to move...

Funny you say that...I get cotton tails under my shed every year, Sitting in the back yard with a pellet gun is a riot. My town does not have discharge by-laws, and my yard backs onto a water tower so it's plenty safe to shoot a <500fps pellet gun.
