Those of you who have done rabbit hunting in the state, will you give some info on where to go, time, clubs or groups to join etc. Looking for some updated info. Thanks!

Jacks or cottontails? Rifle- centerfire or rimfire? Pistol, shotgun, bow? Desert, agricultural or mountains? North or South?

It would probably be better to ask in the Hunting forum and be specific as the where and what type of hunting you want to do.

[OddJack]

Jacks / cottontails ..the one that you can find more off, doesnt matter.

Rimfire and Airgun

I would love to go for bow hunting too, but bigger game.

As the man said just go shoot some paper man. Needlessly killing for the sake of killing something should be left to feral cats.

What do you mean?

I meant I wont be touching them with bare hands. Only with gloves.

Are you going to eat them or just want to kill them?
