My oldest brother is coming up from Appalatchicola Fl. He was asking me if I knew someone in N Ms that would let him and his dog hunt rabbits with or alone on their property. He is 65 years old in good health and very respectful. It could likely turn into a trade a trip type deal in either Fl or Ak.
He will be up here from 12/29 to about New years.
Sorry, thought I put it in OFF TOPIC
Ok no response. Anyone know of suitable public land for a rabbit hunt ?
Must be top secret info I desire. Oh well.
I haven't hunted for several years, however my brother does. He has been under the weather and has not been this year, so I don't have up to date information. One area he hunts each year is "Hell Creek WMA" north of New Albany. You will need to check area regulations, I don't think it is open everyday all year.Quote:

I don't have any land in North MISSISSIPPI so I can't help you. But your brother might get more response if he promised to bring a big sack of those delicious Appalatchicola oysters with him. Best in the world!
I hear about them all the time..lolQuote:

I am afraid it is going to be hard to find any good rabbit hunting anywhere near the delta.....
The bunnies seem to be making a come back around my place. The coyotes weren't so bad after a few met their untimely demise. It's the dang stray cats that do the most damage to the rabbit and quail population around here.
The biggest threat to rabbits and quail is the bulldozer. No cover no wildlife
Fireants here are prolly the worst culprit, very few country gardens any more either, was always a covey of quail around the garden spot or the small corn fields grown for grain for the horses in the winter. Times have changed, not so much for the good either as far as spending time together walking watching a dog work. I miss the annual Thanksgiving bird hunts we as a family made, up early for breakfast and off to find a covey or 2 before coming in for lunch. In those days quail season opened on Thanksgiving day and we ate a big lunch and then cleaned birds. Miss those days, never "hunted" single birds back then just hunted coveys. In later years we had to start hunting the singles because it just wasnt enuff coveys. IMO the small time farmer being gone is more to blame for it, we had a big garden, a corn field (who knows what a "down row" is?), and grew our own oats for feed too. The quail and turkey and everything else in the small game world had plenty of food and cover. These days are gonna, uncle still "snakes" logs with Belgin horses but most of us use machinery to do chores now, at least the ones of us that do some chores. Ah, for the simple life.
Merry Christmas guys and gals, thanks for the thread , brought back some memories.
Yep, to go along with Rees Guides post, I still say one of the biggest downfalls with todays youth was when they quit square bailing hay. That was WORK!!!!
Man that was as much fun as banging your finger with a hammer!!!!!!!!:RoflQuote:

I looked like a smerf after the end of the first day, never had had my own NEW overalls, all mine had been hand me downs. got me a brand new pair and wore em to the hay field without washing them, was BLUE from the waste down when I got hame, bout never wore that crap off!!!!!!!!!:Rofl
Didn't mean to get you. Just passing on that appalachicola is known for more than oysters. I remember the sign as you pass through mentioning Gorrie being from there. Also there was a nice mom and pop restaurant on the square. also remember some sulfur water nearby. Awful stuff. Wish I had some rabbit cover. I'd invite you over. Had a pair of beagles a few years ago. never could get them on rabbits. Weren't any. Used to love hunting the tracks south of J'boro but they stopped us from doing it. Lots of fun in the day.Quote:

Ferrel rabbits are a huge problem for the bunny.
