Hey WABBITT!!!!

Okay, who besides me will shoot cottontails with a .22 rifle?

I can neither deny nor confirm the fact that I might shoot rabbits with a .22....   

When in college, somew buddies and I would pheasant and grouse hunt and often jumped bunnies.  To make it sporting, with the shotgun, we had to yell "freeze wabbit" before we could shoot at them.

Without a doubt   .22 shorts work great

Thats the only way to hunt rabbits IMO. I rarely see any on the east side. If anybody has some "honey holes" to divulge let me know. I would love to start my son hunting them.

Just plant a garden and a whole bunch of flowers. Then you will have more of them suckers than you want. All the kids have grown up and moved out and my father in law has had no one to take care of them things for a few years. The other day my mother in law got fed up and told him to take care of them. He has killed 18 since last week!!! I missed out on all the fun, I was mad. He killed them all with my BLR .22 open sights. That gun has killed many rabbits.

Man I would have so many rabbits if I could use a .22 rifle down here in Clark county.  I keep thinking about getting a .22 revolver because the 44 mag is a little over kill and expensive to shoot.

Ithica mod. 49 single shot lever action, open sights ( old school)      CCI CB .22 short, 700 FPS  not much noise but effective.

we fenced the garden and the buggers are still getting in     I've gotten one and my Wife has shot one.

I use a 22 and a .177 pellet to the head..

Soot 'em with What ever I got handy.
Mostly a 20 gauge as I'm not to keen on shooting the  .22 when the dogs are in the brush

Fair observation. I admire your safety consciousness, especially for a hunting dog.

The 20 is a dandy bunny thumper, as is the .410, because rabbits are very thin-skinned and don't really take a lot of killin'

Still, the .22 rimfire may be the best rabbit gun on the planet.

I would love to, if I knew where they lived. PM me if you are willing to share any spots near Marysville, WA.

Well, finding where rabbits live is not a matter of pulling out a map, it's looking for the kind of habitat they like.

These rabbits find refuge in big berry tangles, and root wads. You will often find them where there are roads with lots of clover growing on the shoulders.
