WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?

Well, went out with the dogs on saturday, and had alot of hits on fresh tracks, ground was very soft though, many rabbits holed up. Dogs did good for the conditions, went to weigh ins at Shurburne for the contest, and won 108$ with our one rabbit. I didnt go to weigh ins because i had to go take care of one of the dogs that was all cut up from prickers and what not, had to bandage him up on the ears because for awhile i couldnt get the blood to stop, but he didnt want to stop in the woods, so my buddy went to the truck and grabbed some tape and put it over the cut on his ears and they finally stopped. But he called me and let me know we won 108$ with the rabbit scott shot. Got a total of 3 rabbits that day. Many hits, lots of dead ends though.

Havent seen a sign of a rabbit here in 15 years or so.

I usually see signs all over, not much this year, the dogs had to go into the piles and kick them up, didnt see any tracks on the little snow we had on the outside of the piles till the dogs chased them out.

Rabbits are up here.

Hopefully I bag afew this weekend, cant hunt with the dogs this weekend, but hopefully i can bag a few being this will probably be my last weekend to hunt because I start training for my job i just was hired at the following weekend. At 16 I can only work from 4:30-7:30 during the week, but i will be working every weekend to save up for a cheap car. So my hunting will be limited very soon. Good luck to everyone.

I live at the south end of Oneida lake and I been seeing them. I dont hunt them anymore but I use to go alot and I think there is something to that cycle thing. Seems we would have 2 good seasons followed by an OK season then 1 or 2 crap years then back up.

Ditto. I used to flush 8-10 rabbits in one of my Catskills spots. Only saw 3 all season this year. Grouse numbers seem to be ok - I usually flush 3-4 per day. Bring back 'yote coats! That'll get the trappers back in gear!
