What I have done for rabbits, since I have no dogs strictly for this, is take out a couple of my friends and walk CRP fields, we usually jump up two or three in a hurry, then we can find at least one more later. The best fields are ones with brush piles in them and water nearby, no piles, no problem, just build one after you trim trees or something. If you do build one, make it big, and preferably out of hedges, except try to make one side of something else so you can tear it apart to get rabbits to run out if they are holed up in it. Maybe try looking for them when you aren't hunting, kinda like scouting deer. Then just walk out like you're bird hunting. Take shotguns cuz you'll just get running shots. I know it doesn't sound like just walking around would work, but my girlfriend and I and her little bro have gotten just short of 20 rabbits so far this year, and have never taken a dog yet.

GOTTA LOVE THAT MARLIN MAGIC!!!!
