In Ohio you send your buddy into the brush to kick them out. Next brush pile it's your turn.

Most of my life was spent hunting without a dog. The few times I did it was a pleasure. You just need to walk alot more, crisscross the field, and as buckhunter said, if you have a buddy take turns in the thickets.

We do it the way Buckhunter does, just keep track of your buddy. He probably won't taste good.

Slow stalking along grain field edges in early morning and late evening are effective ways to take feeding cotton tails. Use cover to your advantge and look way ahead with your binocs.

Once can be successful slowly stalking through brushy areas with a move and stop routine. Stomping limbs, and small tagles of vines and brush along the way. Move slowly at all times and you will unnerve many cotton tails that will typically circle and come back to thier bed. Be patient.

Bedding is also effective. Move slowly through brushy areas and around brush piles looking in, through and under them. Look for that Black Marble of an eye, then shoot him in it. My Dad was a master at this using a .22 Buffalo Scout pistol and .22 shorts.

I've walked up on rabbits and flushed em myself it does help to have someone else out their with you and you can both come out with some rabbit

I agree with jordjohn44 it is much easier with dogs, but if you have to you need to walk around and flush them out.

Look in thickets junk piles and dumps. Get a semi auto and have fun. But be careful.
