I can't agree more. we need more rabbit shows. I have 3 beagles, and we are out every chance we can get, after deer season. I have 2 rabbit hunting videos that I had ordered probably 5 years ago, they are still fun to watch.

John, you are on my friend just say the word & we will go get some bunnies. Mike

Sweet! I was keeping my eyes open at my place for where they'll be and I have a few spots that I know contain a few of the little buggers!

The guys that own land to the north of me asked permission and I told them not without me, we'll see if they ever call back and I ran some tresspassers off another piece the other day...hunting the wrong side of the fence!! AARG!!! Stupid people!

Deer season is totally over tomorrow at sunset here in Ny. Wed I will be out with my dogs & the fun begins. I have 1 pup I have been training & 2 seasonesd bunny burners. I love deer hunting but rabbits is even more fun IMO. I will run every chance I get for the next 2 months. I can understand why the networks dont show it much. They cant make any money on it. All my deer huntin buddies say they want to come out for bunnies but if I have 2 guys show up all season thats alot. Its ok with me I will be out regardless. Its a blast & very inexpensive but rewarding hobby. Mike

I still want to get out there!!!!

I haven't seen on in a long time.

Would be nice to see some thing more than deer and turkeys on a lot of these shows anymore. Of course, these are the big money makers with the big sponsors, so makes it hard for the shows to not show that as much as possible.

I know for myself though, I always try to get a few rabbit hunts in during the year, especially later in the year, in the snow. It's always a great day out in the woods between fall season and turkeys in the spring.

I can remember a couple squirrel hunts that I saw on big-name hunting shows, but they are very rare. I saw Roger Raglin shoot rabbits with a bow on one of his shows. I think he shot jackrabbits or snowshoes one time too? And on one other show I watched a group of fellas shooting at cottontails over beagles with muzzleloading shotguns.

Those were very fun shows to watch, just because it was something different. Maybe we all need to start hounding the big shows to throw something like that in from time to time. Just think..."Lee and Tiffany Lakosky are Gettin' Close to big Iowa cottontails." Probably wont see it, but it would be fun to watch.

I agree, I think they should do more on tree rats, rabbits, things of that nature.

I also would love to see rabbit and also squirrel hunting on TV. All the shows are getting to look the same, either sitting in a tree stand and shooting a whitetail or in a ground blind on a waterhole for antelope or sitting under a pint for elk. I much prefer small game hunting to big game hunting, though I do both. Small game hunting lets me go more often and take more animals for the freezer and enjoy the outdoors much more than just a one shot big game hunt.

More rabbit hunting would be excellent!

You hardly hear about it any more. I grew up raising beagles and running hillbillys and swampers around West Tn. When my grandfather passed away I just ain't been back much since.

It'd be nice and a good show for kids like you said if a Primos or Mossy Oak HTC, or big outdoor show did a rabbit hunt.

When we go to Wyoming pronghorn hunting in October we usually kick up jack rabbits too.

years ago they had it on ESPN before all these new stations came about. There was a series like the bird dog contests. they would put about ten beagles after a rabbit when thay came around the dog leading the pack would be awarded the point. then they would shoot it and start over

I've seen a couple of shows where they went rabbit hunt'in. It was back about the time
you posted this. They were on the Sportsmans Channel, I couldn't tell you who put the
shows together. I was just surprised to see them.

i have only ever seen one show that did rabbit hunting and they were useing the new air shotguns. i could balieve it it was on the VS channel. are there any other shows that do that if not i think it be cool if they did a shwo or two on that and show what they have to do to get those boogers out. ive seen the vids on youtube and stuff but there just shooting rabbits with 308. and crap and laghing. id like a real show even with young kids just got there license showing that its a fun sport and addicting.
