None of the guys I go huntin with have dogs. So we get a group of us all together and go through an area kickin brush and walkin through it all and when one jumps, yell "RABBIT UP!" and whoever has a shot, shoots it.

I do two ways. When i am out with my bow, i drive around till i see one run. Then i get out and hope to find it. Or i'll walk around and hope i have good luck at hitting a running target.

One thing I plan on doing next season is getting in a highly rabbit populated woods, and sit in a tree near signs of rabbit activity (high poop areas
). Then, just pick off a rabbit or two with a .22 or a crossbow.

Strategy:
1) Get up early.
2) Leave dog at home. (Man does he hate this step.)
3) Put on quiet shoes.
4) Walk the lane around the fields next to the woods and briar patches. Come in from out of the sun. Wind direction doesn't seem to make a difference. If I see a hawk, turn around and go home, I won't find any rabbits.
5) Scope the ground about 100 yards out for ears, rumps, movement, etc.
6) Shoot any rabbit dumb enough to be out in the daylight with the 22 rifle.
7) Let dog sniff the tails as a consolation prize.
Repeat in the afternoon going the other way around the fields so I am still coming out of the sun.
