Small Game Bunny Hunt
There are many different types of small game hunts. One of my favorites is archery small game bunny hunting. It’s very inexpensive, very good exercise and great practice for your upcoming deer hunts. It also allows you to do some scouting for your deer hunts and turkey hunting.
Some of our favorite times of the season were during Christmas break while deer hunting in northern Michigan. My two sons and I were lucky enough to have a beagle for a house pet and she was very good at running rabbits. In the northern parts of Michigan there are two different types of rabbits, the regular cottontail and then the awesome snowshoe rabbit. The snowshoe rabbit was hard for our beagle to run, because the snowshoe took very long leaps through the deep snow, making it hard for our beagle to stay on track and manipulate herself through snow deeper than herself.
The snowshoe rabbit does have one bad habit which helps the archery hunter out a great deal of the time. When you jump or flush it out of its hiding place, it will many times scurry out about twenty yards or so, stop and stand up on its hind legs looking around for a few seconds. This allows the archery hunter time to take quick aim and be able to get a shot off. Granted this isn’t much time or a big target, but it is good clean fun and recreation. Much of the time you come up empty, searching for your arrow.
