You say you have a dog. What kind is it? If it is a fast dog you may as well leave it at home because it will be too close the rabbit to shoot. Most rabbit hunters use hounds like beagles to run rabbits. You don't need a dog, you can kick them out as other have said and be successful after you learn where to look for them.

Here in Michigan you can not hunt city's as big as Pittsburg or even smaller ones.
We hunt fence rows, wild berry patches, logging cut overs after the loggers have left and the new growth a couple years after.

Cotton tails do not change color during the late fall and winter. Watch close for that shiny black eye in thick brush piles.

Snow shoe hares do change color in the late fall and winter. They also have that shiny black eye you have to look for when hunting them.

Hunt both slow real slow when you do not have a rabbit dog.

I hope so, as I just hit the Alert on that joker!

my advice: get into brushy places, brush piles with lot of weed and grass around them, brambles. Rabbits like overhead cover and tangles.

Walk through, stopping and starting. Look into the cover. Kick downed limbs and brush. Bunnies like to sit in the limbs and will often flush if you give things a good kick. Be ready to make a quick shot (shotguns are great for this--22s care a real challenge, but are really good if you start looking into cover and spot the rabbit sitting there).

On a side note, a squirrel might present himself or even a quail or pheasant of you're near cropland.
