Every rabbit but one I have taken this season came from the big piles on the south side of Yankee Hill. Big PITA over the weekend when I was deer hunting down there and heard some kind of machine tearing up the landscape a few hundred yards from me... Oh well I guess its money I can save by not paying processing fees...

BRADKOLL Makes a Most Excellent Point.

Nothing in the world helps boost up the rabbit population like a hillside full of huge brush piles.

And a large rabbit population supports just about everything else:   foxes, coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, .........all the meat-eaters.

So---better go out and buy your Beagle before there's a run on them.

Best fun in the world, especially with the kids and grandkids.   Standing there at the jump spot, listening to the Beagles going "Be-Yorkkkk!!!,  Be-Yorkkkk", waiting to see which way Mr. Cottontail will turn at the end of his run.

Good opportunity to use your Ruger Mk-II or some other sidearm instead of the shotgun.   That way, you won't have to skin out as many rabbits.

Cedars are a nasty invasive species.  My family has an ongoing battle cutting those stupid things out of our pastures.  They seem to come back as fast as you take them out.

armed and humorous:
I know that brush piles are a good spot for rabbits, but how the heck do you get them once they've wriggled deep within?  Even a beagle would be hard pressed to penentrate the ones I'm talking about, let alone my big chocolate labs.

I am the only one in my family who hunts or even likes guns for that matter. Never had hunting dogs and only used a dog once when I went pheasant hunting with my friend and his dad. I sneak up on the brush piles like Elmer Fudd and walk circles around them looking for one to be on the edge catching some sun. One I was lucky enough to see through some timber and was able to toss a stick in behind it so that it moved right into a shooting lane. 2 Seconds later Bugs Bunny had #6 shot from a 12ga at 3 yards in his head, luckily didn't damage any meat. Gosh I wish I had the luxury of hunting dogs, that would really help keep me from getting bored and calling my hunt after 2 hours
