We just put 250 miles on the car round trip, stopped in 3 different areas, and 4 of us hit 7 jacks.
First we tried a new spot between Snowville and Park Valley. Didn't even see a rabbit.
Next we tried a good looking spot west of park valley. Jumped one Jack way ahead of us.
Finally we made the long trek west and north over dirt roads to a spot by Yost that has been great in the past. We finally got into a few, but far and in between.
Was this a fluke, or are the rabbits on a down cycle? We usually run over a few on the way in. This year there wasn't even a dead rabbit on the road.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
On the plus side we saw a lot of deer, and some really nice 4x4 and 3x3 bucks south of Lynn. They were right off the road chasing does, with one big buck mounting a doe about 70 yards from us. They sure get dumb durring the rut.
