So in a couple of days (Nov 5th) rabbit season opens. Anyone plan on hunting them? I think I'll give it a try this year with my compound bow. I see them in the evenings in the back yard along the edge of the woods.

I was wondering if anyone else hunts them with a bow and if so what type of heads do you use? I have a pack of the G5 small game heads that look promising and also some of the guillotine heads that although designed for loping the heads off turkeys, may have the same effect on rabbit.
Anyone with experience care to weigh in?

I am going out tomorrow on South Mountain. I will be using either a .22 or a shotgun though. I would eb curious to hear how it works for you with those guillotines. They look wild.

Me and my buddy are going out tomorrow morning for tree rat and/or rabbit. Were taking shotguns though. I don't 'spect we'll get much where were going but it should at least be a nice walk

Well, in the woods behind my house a shotgun or 22lr will probably attract unwanted attention. I'll either try using the bow (most likely since I can have a couple arrows ready for deer) or my RWS 34 .22 cal pellet rifle. I know the pellet rifle is effective out to 50yards. Actually my .22lr rifle with super colibri ammo is quieter than the pellet rifle, but not as accurate past 20 yards.

Post your pics if you guys get any.

Rabbits around here seem to be going the way of the pheasant...

Can you hunt rabbit or squirrel in MD with a pistol?

SOMDSHOOT · Nov 4, 2011

Yes you can. I have a Taurus Tracker SS 6.5" revolver for such occasions.

I agree. Rarely do I see any rabbits on the farm anymore. There's not hunting them there for sure. Too many foxes and other predators.

I am going to have to hold off a while on bow hunting rabbit. The arrow heads I was going to use are going nowhere near where my field points are impacting. The only heads that track perfectly with my field points are the G5 T3s. They are too expensive to use on rabbit. I think my bow needs some tuning since every BH I have tried except for the T3 are way off from the field points.

Ok I have a 22 colt revolver I think it might be cool to try and use it

We went this morning...drove out to patuxent state park. We were looking for rabbit and tree rat. We still hunted a fair amount of woods and walked a tree line next to a corn field and saw not one thing. It was pretty sad actually...we probably saw a dozen squirrel nests but not a single squirrel. And no sign of rabbit at all...

I have to swerve to avoid rabbits in parts of silver spring. They run out in front of my car on a regular basis.

Anyone up for some urban hunting? lol

I had to call DNR on saturday because a guy felt the need to trespass on my hunting club property with his shotgun and 8 beagles in tow hunting rabbits in the standing corn that I paid for the farmer to leave up. Walked the woodline right in front of me had me fired up. DNR called and told me they found his truck and were waiting for him.

I will say one thing, I called the 24hr poacher hotline and within 10 seconds of hanging up had a DNR officer calling me from his cell phone. Very nice to know they are on top of things.
