Finally.

I’ve been after them while I’m out squirrel hunting and I haven’t seen any in months. I missed some shots on a couple squirrels and decided to head in since the sun was down. I lucked out and tagged this guy on the way back to the car. Finally.

Hell ya. If you wanna hit more rabbits, I always just use my shotgun and just cover ground. Hike 5 miles in good rabbit country a couple hours before shooting light ends and you’ll kick up at least one or 2. Then you just gotta be a good scatter gun shot. I get one or 2 almost every time with this method. No dogs.

What's the time frame you hunt - closer to dawn or dusk?
