Hey everyone, we have a NEW Small Game Forum. The reason is we've always had rabbits and tree squirrels under Varmints and as we know they aren't. Besides all rabbits are game animals in California so we need to separate them so that people understand when shooting them they are game and must be picked up. Leaving them lay can get you a ticket, yes even jack rabbits. So from now on lets put the dirt squirrels, badgers, raccoons and skunks in the Varmint Forum. Thanks!I'll be searching through the varmint forum and moving rabbit and tree squirrel posts over to this forum. It may take me awhile so if you notice something gone look in here.

Rabbits are definately game animals.

You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

They are considered furbears. Since at least the raccoons, possums and skunks are constantly attacking my yard they're VARMINTS! lol

Interests:I am into foraging of all kinds. Hunting for game is just one aspect. Every time I am out in the back country I am looking for edible, useful and medicinal flora and fauna. I am also constantly working on survival skills. Hunted as a boy for squirrel, rabbit and some upland birds. I am a farmer by trade and I work for an organic farm founded on ethical work practices.

Thanks John. I was growing weary searching through the varmint pages. I am going out this weekend for my pops birthday so hopefully I will have something to add!! Looking forward to some great small game pics and posts!!

Interests:Looking for info about better spots for deer hunting in So. Cal.....also looking for info about rabbit hunting so i can introduce my boys in to the hunting sport,seems to me that it would be a good idea to start with small game hunting first and then jump to deer hunting(obviously after their Hunting safety course and training @ the firing range)<br />Don't have a lot of experience,but i have been hunting deer for awhile now.<br /><br />See you @ the trails!
