4.0 out of 5 stars
Great basic info on rabbit hunting,
By Deb28 (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rabbit Hunting: Secrets of a Master Cottontail Hunter (Outdoorsman's Edge) (Paperback)
This book covers the basics of hunting cottontail, including some very useful information that I found nowhere else about field dressing the rabbit. It describes rabbit habits and habitats, and is full of entertaining hunt stories. My main complaint about the book is the amount of space it gives to discussing hunting with beagles. 6 of the 22 chapters are exclusively about beagles: selecting, training, breeding and caring for beagles. Those who do not hunt with dogs will not find much use for all this information. Also, it would have been very helpful if the author had included in the book a listing of cottontail hunting availability state-by-state [...] But in general, this is a great book and I recommend it.

Alot of hunting stories and Guidance of training Beagles,
By Andrew Godfrey (Los Angeles, CA, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rabbit Hunting: Secrets of a Master Cottontail Hunter (Outdoorsman's Edge) (Paperback)
The title is very misleading. The author doe en excellent job of illustrating cottontail hunting with Dogs (beagles). I was looking for a rabbit hunting guide sans all the Beagle talk or at least a minimum of it.
If you have dogs accompanying you hunting, get this otherwise it has probably 10 pages of material on hunting solo without dogs. Not what I was looking for. Title should be 'Rabbit Hunting with Beagles...'

Mostly about beagles, and no secrets,

This review is from: Rabbit Hunting: Secrets of a Master Cottontail Hunter (Outdoorsman's Edge) (Paperback)
As an avid rabbit hunter for my whole life, I was excited to get this book. It disappointed me in almost every way. First, the book is ONLY about hunting rabbits with dogs. In fact, it's mostly just about the dogs-less than half the book even covers rabbit hunting. I haven't hunted with dogs since high school and suspect that the majority of rabbit hunters do not hunt with dogs. The book has almost nothing for us, other than some amusing stories. I was amused by, and did enjoy, the book's stories, but there was nothing else I got from it.
The only chapter that I found of any practical or informative value was "Why they circle and why they hole up" which was only a few pages. If the book contained anything remotely resembling a "secret" it was in this chapter. There was almost no information about rabbit natural history, behavior, food preferences, habitat, hunting tactics--in short, none of the stuff that I thought might qualify as a "secret." Rather than buy the book, I'll just sum it up here for you: "I shot a ton of rabbits. It was fun. Man, I love them dogs."
