Where are the rabbits

[jrw]

Is any one having problems finding rabbits this year. All my honey holes have dried up or either my hounds have lost it.

It aint that great for us either.

We're up to 21 as of today but we havent had what Id consider a really good day all season.

It just aint like it used to be for some reason.

I'm gonna put out a trail cam to see if I can catch a picture of that black behemouth.....my horse has been acting mighty strange lately...I think he's losing a little weight.

We have more rabbits at our lease this year than we ever have--go figure.

May be time for a huge black rabbit poll.?

Back durring bow season and up through the ML hunt, we were seeing probably a dozen rabbits going in to our hunting area. But by the time ML season rolled around, the coyote and hawk presence became more obvious. Now, we MIGHT see one rabbit in the AM on the way in. Further - last year, the landowner allowed a fellow to rabbit hunt the stretch we usually see rabbits in, so we knew why they got thinned out last year. But he hasn't hunted it this year.... but the hawks and coyotes are THICK. And the coyote scat all is full of hair...(or would that be hare...hehehehe).

I would have to agree. I think that the predators are eating them up.

Hey F B those two female blue ticks i got off of you are really starting to impress me. they want to hunt but got nothing for them to run. they been in a couple of races and have open some.

i got on my stand saturday evening and glanced down and saw a furry spot. when i got down to go in, i went and looked and it was a dead rabbit. It had not been shot, or touched by anything. looks like it just fell over dead right there on that spot. kinda weird

[F B]

Im glad to hear it. :thumb:

Youre welcome to go with me anytime that Im going.

I go by myself sometimes cause I worry more about letting the dogs run than I do killin' a bunch of rabbits.

I seldom have more than 2 or 3 others with me and theres almost always room for one or two more.

I dont even have a guess about the dead rabbit. Maybe disease of some kind?

Ive been blaming the shortage on predators but who knows.
