beagle1812 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hey All, Just wanted to get your experience of when is the best time to hunt for rabbits, early morning or in the evening? I have been out over the past few weeks in the morning (about 05:30) but a soon as the rabbits see us they're off! Thanks ya'll. Quote Link to post
postiepaul 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 the evening after a fine day suits me and the rabbits. Too often at this time of year everything is absolutely dripping with a heavy dew in the early morning which is a pain if your stalking and bellycrawling, the rabbits dont like wet feet and nor do I.

stealthy1 3,964 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I genearally find any good sunny day brings the bunnies out, but best time is in the evening, get sat down where the rabbits are and wait for them to arive, with a bit of feildcraft you'll be able to see the best places to sit, dont get disheartend, keep at them.

Ive done plenty of both and I know what I prefer. Meeeooooow. Quote Link to post

Ever heard of a lucky rabbits foot. And there was me thinking you knew it all. Quote Link to post
