With no snow on the ground, finding rabbit sign is tough but not impossible. Look for overgrown fence rows, blackberry brambles, brushy creek banks, brush piles, etc. Most anything that provides overhead cover should be suspect. Another good place to look is along railroad beds. Early mornings are best as the rabbits will be trying to sun themselves after a cold night. Keep the sun at your back and move slow and quiet with pauses every few yards. If you're constantly on the move, the rabbit may try to 'wait you out' and let you walk right on by. Pausing makes them nervous and they may break cover giving you a shot. Good luck and safe hunting.

It's nice to have a set-up such as a timed feeder but, for those who don't, won't or can't hunt over a bait station, 3 or 4 one quart zip-lock bags filled with corn mash and set out in a 180 degree arc (downwind) works better than anything I've ever used. Placing the bait piles 75-100 yards out will help to keep the shots on incoming pork well within the range of most any rifle, slug or, smokepole. Disclaimer: this is a PATIENT man's game
