Rabbit question ?? Are they breeding yet in Indiana
My son came home from college today and loaded up a couple hounds and went to hunt for a little bit. He only drove about 5 miles and it was 2:45 pm. He arrived to his spot which was some family property and on the other side was some private ground all growed up. He counted 5 rabbits setting in the old road within 150 yards. My question is this, are they breeding now with all the warm weather we have had ? Its still winter even though mother nature is saying other wise !!! And rabbit season is still open here in Indiana ? All the rabbits ran over to the private property where its real thick.

I can understand they breeding in the southern states but up here in Indiana ? I have never seen rabbits set out in the roads during the daylight hours in Febuary, something is up for sure !!!

I believe they are breeding jon. The last two times I have been out, we've been jumping rabbits in pairs. I don't jump many rabbits in pairs often, except during this time of the year.

Last 2 times out (past 2 weekends) have had at least one split race. Here in middle Tennessee it has not gotten cold at all yet. Weather has been crazy
