Hi,

I have googled this topic of curiosity in several different word variations and found absolutely nothing, which leads me to believe not a lot of people must have tried chasing a rabbit down with a knife.

Shooting a rabbit down with a high powered rifle is pathetic in my humble opinion, I want to do something that can take more skill, and be fun. Rabbits are fast as hell but I'm in good shape,even so, I figure my best chance is to attempt to be sneaky.

And I'd imagine there's the danger of tripping over a rock and stabbing myself, which would be hilarious in an existential sort of way.

I know I can't be the only one who has done this. Please share your thoughts and experiences.

Try Rabbit Hunting with a Bow,if You want to make it harder don't use a ComPound Bow get a Traditional Bow and hunt them that way.

Yeah...running after rabbits with a Knife in Your hand is not the best or smartest way to go about it?Now when it comes to Hog Hunting they usually have dogs to chase down the Hogs and then hold them down and stick the Hog with a nice Big Knife from a leather sheath!

Is this a serious post? They are had enough to hit with a shotgun and you want to chase them down with a knife?

If I were you Id try deer hunting with a knife first, you know, to hone your skills, then get them pesky little wabbits.

When I was a kid, I was rabbit hunting with a single shot .410, I came around the corner of an old barn and there was a rabbit, maybe 10 feet from me. I shot and missed -- I imagine at that close range I didn't have much of a pattern. I took off at a sprint right behind the rabbit, took hold of my gun by the barrel, and attempted to whack it. I missed and broke the stock off my shotgun. I was too young to appreciate the existential ramifications.

Let us know when you catch and kill yer rabbit with yer knife (and not in a trap then dispatched) .....some of us may still be alive.

Lol... good luck.

I have enough trouble "chasing them down" with a .22lr, let alone a knife. I actually killed one this morning in my yard... this guy has gone under the fence of my garden and ate the tops off my bell peppers.

Whacked it with my recurve at ~25 yards.

I second the suggestion of traditional archery hunting rabbits for increased difficulty, since it appears that is what you're after.

Im closing this thread. Remember to stay safe and our hunting ethics.
