My son and I did our first Rabbit hunt with the new season, The Rabbits weren't so big but there sure were plenty of them out. We had a few really small ones sighted in, but we can wait till they get bigger.Tony and Son

good job tony, nice looking bunnies..they make good slippers to do you do anything with the skins?

[tonyd]

I am making a shoulder mount from one of them, got it all salted right now, going to pick up some Borax tomorrow. This will be my second attempt at a rabbit mount, so far so good. I want to make a nice photo/shoulder mount for him and yes me too.

This will be my second attempt at a rabbit mount, so far so good.

For any help on the mounting projects, send CoyoteHuntress a PM... She's an Excellent taxidermist, with much of her work shown on this forum. Just a thought and good luck.And good job on your hunt & pics Frankp.s. don't forget about the "member's storys & pics thread" for some of your hunting episodes.

I think he meant what gun....................

boy, do I feel dumb, wife always says I think about food way to muchRight, Gun, Beeman .22 with gamo Hunter pellets. All short range inside of 20 yards, I guess the Rabbits haven't seen to many hunters this early in the season.

Ok Here is the photo I made for my boy, something a little different, not taxidermy quality but hopefully something he will remember.
