turkeyfeathers Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Crazy amounts of rabbits this year. Had mamma and 2 little ones in there at once but 1 little one scampered out when the door was going down. Watched the whole thing unfold. And no they won’t be in the dinner thread later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas0218 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yeah every night we have 2 around the house and 2 more up on the food plot about 100 yards from the house. The dogs usually keep them out of the yard but they are all over. They seem to disappear when it comes time to hunt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy K Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Rupert has been going crazy on his nightly walk ,he gets that hound dog nose going and sure enough there's a rabbit in someone's front yard . It's actually given me a chance to teach him to stalk instead of just run wild after it. He hasn't touched one in a couple years though.

Steuben Jerry Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 This morning's drive was like a slalom course until I got to the interstate. Veering back and forth to avoid the bunnies darting across the road. Maybe a dozen in that many miles. Didn't even nick one with a tire!

Years ago I hit one square with the right tire on the expressway doing about 70. Was a family crossing the road and even though I tried to avoid it, the momma scampered right into the tire. Felt like ran over a log. Needed a front end alignment afterward. Of course, it was a Dodge truck. So there's that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it's safe, I always try to avoid wildlife in the road too. But sometimes, they almost seem to do themselves in! No matter what you do to miss them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas0218 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I brake for animals but not putting myself in danger. I always get a kick out of people slamming brakes for a squirrel. On 2 instances this week I saw 2 almost accidents from people slamming their brakes for a squirrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll avoid them if possible but if i'm in traffic they have to avoid me because i'm not moving one way or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It took my wife a long time to grasp the concept of not swerving,stopping or speeding up for a squirrel . Stay the same speed and hold your line and they will always get out of the way . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
