Thanks. I think I'm probably gonna try west Texas and slightly into New Mexico. Everything I'm hearing says that Kansas is definitely on the downside slope of the rabbit cycle right now.

Bumping this up to see if anyone can comment on what they've seen. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I hunted Amarillo back in '08 and jack numbers were pretty good then. Getting permission was tough though, as we struggled to contact land owners. Lots of hobos out there too. We'd be walking fields, and hobos were popping up like jacks...lol

In Eldorado? Nope. A couple friends made the drive out there, but they're flying long wings. Or trying to. They've been whining about the wind too. Said they're seeing a bunch of bunnies, quail, phez, and chickens.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Sounds like numbers are low. I have some friends that are out near Witchata now, and they're seeing a bunch of cottontails, but no jacks. Reports Ive heard from the SW indicate numbers are really low. Some more friends are headed that way tomorrow, and I suspect...

That would be Chase. I think he left SW Kansas yesterday saying pickings were so slim, he was limiting himself to one jack a day.

Must not be any jacks left in Kansas, lol. Hope you guys are seeing plenty of birds.

Can anyone comment on the jackrabbit and bunny populations this year? I'm hoping to get out that way next month and chase some with my hawks. I've hunted from Liberal to Garden City a few times in the past. Willing to go just about anywhere that has good jack numbers. Thanks.

Well I made it home on Sunday. Had a great time while in Kansas. Caught some bunnies, some jacks, and a pheasant. Already planning another trip out there. Saw a ton of pheasants, and all the pheasant hunters I talked to, did well opening weekend. Hope the rest of you did well too. Thanks for all...

Thanks to those that sent me PM's. I'm planning to head out in the morning, and get there sometime Friday. I'm really looking forward to this trip.

Just a few more days to go. Rabbits, here we come...

I thought it might be Cheri, since you're from PA. I'm in a black 4 door dodge ram. There'll be a white 3 compartment g-hood in the back. Look forward to meeting you.

Here's the 3 birds I'll have with me in Kansas.

Those are some great pictures to go with a great story.

Who's project is your bird from? I'm flying a 3 year old that I bred, and one of my breeders that is 13. Hopefully we'll all find plenty of game. I'm not gonna make the nafa meet.
