peabody swamp rabbits

[brandon wilson]

was wondering if anyone could tell me some good spots on Peabody to find some swamp rabbits. or any other public land for that matter. always herd they were a lot bigger but never seen one I don't guess. I assume it would be easy to tell the difference. planning to head that way in a week or so.

[brandon wilson]

so do they run like a cotton tail or can you tell before you see the rabbit

There pretty precious to us down here, so we hate to give up where their at! LOL!

Swampers do not run like cottontails. They run similar to a snowshoe hare. If you don`t know your dogs you would swear they were running a deer. They will also swim a river and swim across a pond.
Brandon pardon my ignorance but where is pea body?

We make a trip to Peabody every year, but have never jumped any swamp rabbits. Maybe we're just not hunting the right places to jump them though.

thats the first thing I thought when I read this post. I know I dont like giving up good hunting spots especially on a public board. Before you know it you got everyone and their brother in your hunting spots

The only difference I notice is they will hit the water. When up and running they run simlar to the cottontail I use to run on Ohio reclaim strippmine grounds. JMO

Peabody is in western ky. old strip mines. I understand I reken not wanting to give up hunting spots. I haven't seen a lot of the land. the parts I seen look more like a place I would coon hunt rather than rabbit hunt but about all I hunt around here is crep fields but I guess there in the woods too. I don't like giving up my good crep fields either. im just looking for some different scenery more less.

I hear about huntin reclaimed strip fields. Most what I hear is good,mostly cottontails.
