A few of us went out yesterday for jackrabbits. We mananged to bag seven. We saw around 40 or so but most were out at 400yds or farther. They had been shot at before so they were a little shy of us.
These jacks were all shot at around 300yds. We used 22-250, 243, 25-06, and a 220Swift. We also brought shotguns but we had no close shots. Only got the one pic though as the digicams froze. Was a fun day.

Yep, that's a different kind of bunny hunting than we experience.

p.s. those are some whompin big critters!...Tominator, great pic also..are those cottontails?....where i live you cant hunt cottontails as they are protected now. im just taking a wild guess that all the malls and developments and bulldozers are why they are rare now...not the few hunters who USE to hunt them but what do i know...:)...typical to ban hunting an animal but keep taking away all their habitat when habitat is usually the reason they are scarce not hunting.

Yep, cottontails.

Last I heard, Ohio DNR was trying to re-establish the snowshoe hare in Ohio's north east counties, and they are protected here.

Yes Sir, they do change colour. The other jacks we shot were already changing colour.
