Good luck.

Post by: plottwalker on October 03, 2013, 09:36:49 AM: i hunted the scatter creek area at the end of last season and ran about 6 different rabbits, shot 2. seemed like a decent place to run a few, not a big area where the rabbits were, (i ran all of them in a 20-30 acre area) might try it again this year.

Did you see them in the open area or in the wooded part?

Post by: plottwalker on October 03, 2013, 12:26:48 PM: if i remeber correctly, it was on the back side of some briar patches, it was close to the woods, but not in the woods, i would see them as they went from one patch to another.. the same goes for most wildlife areas/release sites, they may run into the woods or more open areas. but normally are 10 feet deep in the briars....not wanting to come out.

Post by: plottwalker on October 14, 2013, 12:48:46 PM: no i dont, i run gps on the dogs, but dont normally mark my location.
we ran down around woodland bottoms and got this one about 20 mins into turning loose, ran 2 more afterwards, only took the one so the young pup knew what they are trailing. (his first rabbit)
