In the mail today came Gray's Sporting Journal and the first article was by David Foster in which he relates that rabbit hunting has fallen off in recent years.
In the past kids would often learn how to hunt by taking rabbits but that nowadays it seems to be that their first experience may be a four or more hour stint in a tree stand waiting for a buck to come by. And that this could lead to a rapid loss of interest in the new hunter for the sport.
So I ask as I have never hunted but wish to do so and wish to get my kids involved would it make sense to start with rabbits?
It seems like it would be an inexpensive way to start and he says rabbits are great eatin'. Actually because this is GSJ he said there is no better "table fare in the wild."
