MZL camp for wabbit hunting ...

[Flint62Smoothie]

Building upon our late Fall deer MZL season camp, we just opened the tent camp for a few days wabbit hunting between Xmas and New Years.

Mr. Sonny, all 110-pounds of him, is sitting out front to greet the hunters.

And uhhhhhhhh, the 1st thing I did at camp was to remove the non-period correct chair, haha! We do setup as traditional a camp as we can; I even change out my eyewear to period correct glasses.

That is so fantastic. I could never match that

Super looking camp Flint62!!! The lighting in the photo sure Makes it look inviting. All the better with your fine looking shepherd (confirmed dog lover here).

Thanks for sharing, Skychief.

That would be my kind of Airbnb.

Mr. Sonny is keeping a watchful eye on the camp. No bear will sneak up on your camp at night.

That looks and sounds like a great time!!

Believe it or not, TriCo Unlimited out of VT will soon be offering Winter camping experiences like this. They also provide guided fly fishing trips & nature hikes - whatever you want outdoors.

What a great idea! We live so close to our rabbit terrain (right in the middle actually) I never considered camping. But I have a dandy wall tent with wood stove, so it's just a matter of gumption....

One thing you might add to the festivities- Dunno if it's legal in your part of the world, but when we know we'll be heading to the same spot the next day, we'll often set a handful of snares on our way out in the evening. Lots to learn about the rabbits and the terrain when you do that, and a whole lot of fun with a practical historically correct skill.

Bear,
Great idea!
I see trapping as something to be done as you scout an area and they can act something like a trail camera in that you can see what's or what's not in the area when you're not around.
Even if the trapped is fouled and empty you'll have sign in and/or around it to let you know about activity.
Snares, if legal in the area, are the easiest traps to do that with.

No one certain era, other than pre-percussion era ... and nothing modern. We’ll allow flashlights for safety if used discreetly and kept out of sight.

One of us dresses as an Eastern longhunter, while most of my clothing and firelocks are early French milicien. The whole point is to have fun and setup in the traditional manner, but none of us are ‘thread counters’ ...
