Antelope Jack rabbits in Arizona area?
- Thread starter silverback1
- Start date
We have a few but not enough to be hunting them. You could probably go out everyday for a week or more and maybe get 1. We're over run with yotos and no small game last very long.

yall take them yotes out and solve the problem.
hunting them at night is one thing, but calling them during the day is much more active if
you dont get busted.....thats the fine line !
we hunt them here on the farm because of calves being born weekly.
we watch the birthing situation and stake a claim on them during delivery times.
when the placenta comes after the delivery of the calf. the coyote hangs around
during this time frame, and will go after the young one quickly in time.
this is when there completely stupid and not paying attention to whats going on
around them.
an easy task if you play your cards right !

You mean the famous critter called the Jackalope. They are super elusive and the only ones I've seen are trophy's on walls.
Kidding aside you just have to walk around until a Jack rabbit jumps out. The best luck I've had is close to dusk and dawn. I live in northern AZ and have shot bunches of them but mostly when I was young using 22rf's while hunting in the fields near the junipers.
Just this morning I saw one running across the FS right off our property.
If I see a coyote when I have a rifle close by I take the shot. So far I've gotten 7-8 of them near where that Jack was running.
