early bunnies

[George]

Rabbit season is open before modern deer season in my area, usually the first week of November, but I don't usually hunt it. Don't know why, it just seems natural to wait until December or January. I got the urge, though, when the season opened November 1, and made it out today. It was a leisurely hunt on a cool, overcast day, good to be out. I carried my double flint 20 gauge loaded with 70 grains 2F Goex and equal volume #6 shot, tow for wadding. I saw a few bunnies, got a couple of shots, managed to collect one. Hunting early may catch on with me.

Good work. My bunny area out here was underwater for a while, so the little fellas have been scarce.

nice flint, what is it?

It's a 20 gauge made by J. T. Phillips in 1990. Cochran locks, tapered barrels 32" long, weight just over 7 pounds.

Very, Very nice, We don't see very many double barrel flint shotguns here :thumbsup: The only time I see bunnies down here is at night when I'm out looking for my cat when she don't want to come in for the night.

I've been missing them with about everything I own this year

Just apply your self, you to can miss with a bow, a .32 (even when a jack rabbit just sits at 40 yards & lets you take the shot :redface: ) It's so bad the dogs are :redface:
