Rabbit Hunting

[Hunting For One]

Does any body rabbit hunt in NE OK? Been thinking about going around lake Oologah and kicking the brush.

I went for the first time in many years last week. Didn't see a darn thing. I'm thinking I need a dog or three.

The last time my wife and me went for a walk in the woods her Jack Russelldrug like five rabbits out of the bushes. Shame he's terrified of guns, i'd shoot he'd take off and they'd find him 5 counties over and i'd be the dead one cause' I lost my wifes dog.

I took my youngest and one of his buddys out west of Blackwell a couple years ago and I made them stop shooting at 12. It sure was good with some gravy and mashed potatoes. One of my favorite meals...especially with a few quail thrown in.

I took a guy and some of his clients out last weekend on a little 22 acre spot, and they killed 11. Shotguned them all in the snow. I like to use the .22 pistol. Don't hit many, but its fun doing all that shooting. Back in the 80's when rabbits were plentiful, I ran beagles, and I'm here to tell you if you like lots of moving and shooting like an IPSC shoot, that is the way to go.
I had three at one time, and after awhile you could tell when they were on a hot trail or hot on the heels of a running bunny. If the rabbits keep building up, I might have to look at another beagle or two. Quite tasty little critters.

The pheasant and quail are getting scarce.

Back in my younger years I lived in Michigan and ran beagles all the time,nothing like a good rabbit chase with two or three beagles.With all this snow and cold weather I think I am going to have to see if I can rely on some old tatics and see if I can jump shoot a couple.It's been a long time since I have had some fried rabbit,mashed potatoes,gravy and some home made biscuits like Mom would cook on a cold Sunday afternoon for dinner.

My buddy and I shot a limit of rabbits last week near Ft Gibson. I've never seen such a concentration of cottontails before.

On public land?

I used to hunt allot around Muskogee area. I live in Broken Arrow now....... does anyone know of any good rabbit hunting areas? Been years since I've gone, but would love to find a decent spot to hunt again.

It was private, but I have seen a ton of rabbits on the Ft Gibson WMA.
