"To stand along high on a stump and hear the hounds screaming at the top of their lungs. To see months of training culminate in a spectacular run, and finally see the rabbit coming full throttle straight for you. And to see him almost frozen in an instant of time as the shot connects and he tumbles into three inches of fresh snow; that is what rabbit hunting is all about." It's hard not to agree. Written by one of the country's most renowned cottontail hunters, this guide will give you all the necessary strategies and cottontail facts you need to get out there and experience this fun for yourself. Providing thirty years worth of trial-and-error methods, tips, and techniques for consistently taking cottontails, this book explains everything from how to hunt rabbits in bad weather and why they "hole up" to training beagles and tips for hunting with a small pack of hounds.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
About the Author
Dave Fisher has been involved in hunting and the outdoors since he was a child. For over thirty-three years, he has raised and trained hundreds of dogs, mostly beagles, for hunting rabbits. With his writing career beginning in 1974, Fisher now has over five hundred nationally published articles to his credit; ninety percent of these are on rabbit hunting and the sport of beagling. In hunting circles and at field trials, Dave Fisher is simply called "The Rabbit Guy." Fisher continues to write for hunting-dog magazines, and to raise his unique strain of red and white beagles. He still tramps unnamed thickets around his home in Smithfield, Pennsylvania, and in other rabbit hot spots across the country.

Rabbit Hunting,
By
This review is from: Rabbit Hunting (Hardcover)
This is a good read. It is more of an account of a number of different rabbit hunting trips than a training or informational guide. Easy - light reading.
WARNING: This is the hardcover version of "Rabbit Hunting - Secrets of A Master Cottontail Hunter". The way they are advertised on Amazon is a bit misleading. They are one in the same. You don't need both.
