Default RE: rabbit

Brod Man- It might work if you use a blindbut mask your smell with Skunk Cabbage by splittting the stem all the way down with a knife, and then rubbing the smelly liquid and juice all over your clothes and skin. I do this when hunting and it is affective and works if done correctly. Skunk Cabbage grows near Northern Swamps and Bogs, and is tricky to get to if the ground is thick with mud that comes to your ankles. But there should be a patch near and Swamp or Bog depending on were you live. Also, what I do is take off my shirt and shoes and socks, and cover most of mylegs, arms ,chest ,feet, and hands with handfuls of mud. I have only done this once and is not pleasent but it got me within 8 feet of a Rabbit in the fields. Of course when I got home my mother grounded me for being filthy. Use urine of old kills and smear it onto your skin, it's ok to miss certain areas of your skin becasue the urine would be overpowering in terms of smell than your naturalbody odors released into the air by sweat and movement ( I have never used urine). Bring along a buddy or twoto "herd" the Rabbit for you. What I mean is let them scare it into a direction which is a dead end, and when it is cornered it will freeze in defense, thats when your friend should move to the right of the dead end, and the other friendon the left of the dead end so it can't escape. Thats when you take your shot. Hopefully, you might get it. I use that herding trick with my friends and I took my first Rabbit with my slingshot. Good Luck
