Title: Looking for rabbits
Post by: pcw907 on October 05, 2011, 10:01:47 AM: New to the forum, first post. My son is visiting for 10 days from the Air Force and mentioned he'd like to go hunting. Leaves on 13 Oct. I was thinking rabbits, but I am new to Washington myself and would appreciate any recommendations on good spots for rabbit hunting. We are not new hunters, having hunted bear in bear, rabbits, pheasants and turkey from Alaska to Texas. Thanks for the assist.

In eastern snohomish county just about every stand of trees houses a bunch or rabits. depending on weapon choice you can do good all over Snohomish county but there are lots of firearms restricted areas. Private land with vegie gardens will produce a high concentration of bunnies in these parts.
