If you shoot one, east or west side, post em up with a story. I passed a spike opening morning and saw like 8 or 9 does. My brother decided to shoot the spike so at least I got to pack some meat. I’m holding out for one of the three mature ones I scouted in summer ..read more

Got some ribs frozen and ground up 20poiunds of sausage. Still have some more to process but don't recall what all there is. Some... Read more ..read more

Wondering if anyones tried hunting these little buggers? As far as I know there’s no closed season or bag limit, and they’re an invasive and DESTRUCTIVE species.

Anybody have any leads to good public rabbit hunting grounds? Jack rabbit or cottontails. I loved hunting rabbits on my property in Michigan and miss the heck out of it. I would say I'd like to take a few people or meet some folks to join up for a shoot but the last time I did that I was almost shot. Literally at point blank range. So I will only rabbit hunt with someone who has taken their hunter safety course and passed. Rabbits have a way of running in between people and I like to... Read more ..read more

This august and fall it is possible I could have the time to hunt for bear specifically with another interested family member. The problem is I have numerous bits of conflicting advise received in years past regarding bear hunting. On that topic was were I thought some of you on this forum... Read more ..read more
