Who needs to kill a dozen a day or 100-plus per season? Where do you go to run next year? We have good areas with lots of rabbits but it's getting harder and harder to find private land to hunt or run on. You can't hammer them relentlessly no matter that they have multiple litters. Take what you need, but enjoy the dogs and the day.

Most of us who kill lots of rabbits have tons of places to hunt and only hunt a farm once or at most twice per season. For instance one farm we hunt here is 1300 acres. We killed around 30 rabbits off it last year. I was over there the other day running and there is a huge abundance once again. I am blessed with plenty of places and plenty of rabbits or else I would probally only kill a few per trip. It's actually VERY VERY easy to find places to hunt here in my part of Kentucky if your respectful, put in a little legwork, and have a good reputation. Being a cattle farmer sure doesnt hurt either, lol! You would be suprised at how many places I have got permission to from being at the stockyards, vet, or the local restraunts were everyone hangs out.

I say do what you want where you hunt and live and I will do the same where I live! I have killed 175 to 200 for the last twenty years. I feed my dogs and pay for my hunting leases and have permission from my friends and hunting clubs. I will do as I always have and could care less what anyone on this board likes about it or not. That is your opinion just like mine is to hunt. We eat what we kill and do not hunt a spot to death. You have to be smarter than what you are working with. I rarely even go to the same spot and hunt in a season. Sometimes I even skip a entire season running or killing. If you have five places to hunt then maybe you need to thank about killing but me.

I am lucky I have six places to hunt!

I didn't mean to offend anyone. Around here we have large farms that farm from fence to fence and yuppies on two acres. Not a lot in between. We do have a lot of state land but much of it is managed for deer and turkeys. I like rabbit too, just don't need that many. To each his own. Have a safe season and for me a good day is any day I bring all my dogs home. Anything in the bag is a bonus.

We killed 30 last year. Only hunt Saturdays. Dad is 70 years old and can't put in a full day so we usually hunt 4-6 hours...

Goal is 40 this season. We have plenty of folks asking for rabbits so 30 didn't cut it last year...

They was 315 rabbits killed over my dogs last year....
They r plenty of places I hunt every year and the rabbit population has grown from last year I've started seeing baby rabbits first of march and I still see baby rabbits must have had a good breeding season... I can't wait till opening day!!
I finger on killing at least 100 and I don't have to try that hard lol
