Any useful rabbit hunting tips?

February 17, 2012 By

I have been hunting some land that I am not very experienced hunting, I am finding tracks all over the place but I fail to find any rabbits… they seem to be invisible.

There is snow on the ground, so tracking is relatively easy, I just can’t find any rabbits.

Any tips/tricks that anyone has for locating said rabbits would be welcome.
Chase: That’s the thing, I can find tracks everywhere; but I have found very little feces.
@balletluvr: Good advise.

Find the thickest brush you can. Look for droppings around this area. If you see a lot of droppings in a thick area, its an area they spend a lot of time in. Then go around the thick brush pile. They tend to run out of it and then you shoot them running.

EDIT- Maybe you should try stand hunting over the area you see a lot of tracks.

    Depending how your yard set up is they may be hiding elsewhere than just brush. Like if you had any other structures they found a way under or a compost heap or some other reasonable facsimile.

    Edit : Lol none of you have had rabbits under your shed then, get a grip.

    so a bit of scouting, like walk out in the brush. where u see a rabbit. come back to it about a week later but scan. this time in the area u flushed it. it. should be there somewhere. and if u have dogs. send them after it. but dont follow the dogs. wait. by the area. the bunnie came from. he usally circles back, offering u a shot. but. try to stay concield.

    What you really need to do is get yourself a Beagle Hunting dog.* It increases your success rate by 100%.* I have three (3) of them.*
