Thread: How to hunt rabbits?

When spotlighting for rabbits, there are several techniques you can try:
Stalking: Walk along with the spotlight on, scanning the area for rabbits. When you spot one at a distance, approach quietly to get within shooting range. This method requires patience and stealth.


Spotlight and Stalk: Walk along with just a headlamp on to see the ground, then use the spotlight intermittently to spot rabbits. This can help avoid spooking them with constant light and allows you to approach quietly when you spot one.


Ambush: Find a spot where rabbits are known to come out, such as feeding areas or burrow entrances. Sit quietly and patiently, then use the spotlight to illuminate them when they emerge. This method requires knowledge of rabbit behavior and preferred habitats.


Drive and Spotlight: Have someone drive slowly while you use the spotlight to scan for rabbits along the edges of fields or roadsides. This method covers more ground quickly but may spook rabbits if the vehicle is too loud.
Experiment with different techniques to see which works best in your hunting area. Remember to prioritize safety and legal hunting practices at all times.
