squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

What do u hunt for most rabbit or squirrel?What gun do u use?

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

Rabbits, 20 ga. or .22

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

Rabbits, the reason being you can't hunt red squirrels, and that's all we have around here. I use either a Browning Semi .22, or a Mossy 500 with some handloaded #5's depending on whether or not we're running my Springer.

squirrel with a22

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

You guys hunting with .22's, do you still hunt the rabbits? How do you usually hunt them?

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

both with bow, it sure does fine tune your shooting abilities!

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

Well, usually they're turned white before there's snow on the ground, so they stick out like a sore thumb. Or else while my dog is chasing them, (she's slow) they'll sort of slow right down and look back at what was chasing them. That's usually a BIG mistake on their part.

i like to hunt rabbits with my 30-06

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

i hunt for both squirrel and rabbit but mostly squirrel with my 22

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

that's dumb to hunt with a 30-06 but my ad shot one with a 25-06 it was funny.

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

Squirrel mostly. Because hunting rabbits without a dog can really suck. Otherwise I enjoy rabbit hunting alot more. 12guage number 6 or 4 (hard to find 5 around here). Or 22 for squel. Never tried a 22 for rabbits. Sidenote: As a rule I usually use 7 1/2 shot for clays and doves. Couple days ago I went squirrel hunting. All I had were high brass 7.5. Figured I'd be alright since leaves and all were gone. The thing I hate most happened. Second squirrel I shot I stayed put for a few minutes afterwards to see if any of his buddies had been hideing. When I go to pick him (her actually) he was still breathing and trying to crawl away when I came up. Ground was too soft to stomp his head so I ended up cutting his neck the best I could. He suffered the whole time I was waiting for some of his buddies to be curious. I later counted and best I can tell he was hit with 4 pellets. One in his neck two on his body and the 4th must've just grazed his head. I'd rather miss completely with a less dense pattern than for that trash to happen.

both quite a bit, but rabbits more often, both with my shotgun

im not too sure about that. where i live, we find a field and have three or four guys and stomp on all the dense brush in the headrow, it works out fine.

tree rats 17hmr

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

squirrels and rabbits, with a 22.lr or the bow!

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

i agree.. i use a single shot 17HMR and i never miss so single shot is no problem with me.. 17s fly faster than 22s and my 17 is dead on at 100 yrds.. so shooting a squirrel is no problem.. i would definately reccommend a 17HMR for all of you big squirrel hunters out there

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

i have also tried my bow a few times and it is way more exciting. and it will rely improve shooting

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit

RE: squirrel .vs. rabbit
 

Rabbits with a single shot 20 ga. Squirrel season is closed here now but I'll probably use a .22 next season for squirrels. Going to use a .22 for woodchucks as soon as they come out.
