This place isnt exactly in Utah but just over the Nevada Border. Up by Park Valley. Rabbits are running rampid. Between 5 of us we shot 131 the day after thanksgiving. And I will have you know there wasn't a shotgun in the lot of us. It was all done with 22's, pistols, and varmint rifles. So get up and slay some rabbits it's a great year. :rifle:

I have been deer hunting in that area. "rockgremlin" and I went a few years ago. It is a neat area of the state and really unexplored. We took a dirt road back that is on the west side of the Great Salt Lake for fun. It takes you out to I-80 near Wendover.

Nice work on the rabbits. I am usually packing my Remington 870 Express. Then a 22 pistol on the side just for kicks. I can’t hit a thing with the pistol but I can empty a clip in seconds and scare them rascally rabbits. :rifle:

That sounds like a good place! We ought to plan a trip up that way for some good rabbit slaying. We have been going up to Idaho just past Snowville and the border. We used to go around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think we done gone and shot them all outta there. We need a new spot. :rifle:

Were they all Jacks or some White Tail? Every time I hit one with the ole 870 I cant even find it. :chairshot:

Be careful hunting rabbits in Idaho. They make you buy a non game lisence for jack rabbits, coyotes, crows etc... Getting caught is just like getting caught poaching; pretty hefty fines. I believe the non game lisence is around 80.00. Thats more than I'm willing to pay for jacks.

Uhhh.....did I say we were in Idaho........I meant Utah, Yeah! Yeah! :oops:

I thought that the Jacks were not considered a game animal so anyone could have at it? Hmm..........Non-game license? What kind of crap is that? pissed:

I’m not paying a dime for those disease-infested varmints. I just blast away! :rifle:

One of the best rabbit hunting trips I went on, was where we went out west to Wendover, and the next morning we made some fur fly.
We went on a Friday night, and got some cheap rooms at one of the casinos because a few of us had coupons we had saved up.
I taught the boys how to play Roulette, and most of us got our trip paid for.
Saturday morning, we went a little west, and then north-east so we were actually hunting in Utah. It was pretty cool. You get to see some small, strange towns out there.
I suggest a Wendover rabbit hunting extravaganza next month.

I would be up for some wabbit hunting next month. :rifle: I haven’t had my 870 out in a while! We could also hit a buffet! All the horse prime rib you can eat! :scared: Get a new forum going on the subject and we can get it planned. The biggest obstacle is always just getting it on the calendar. The last two weekends of the month are open for me.

I say lets get one planned for west of Wendover. After a long night of gambling what could be better than goping out early in the morning and shooting stuff up in the desert?!?

Planning a trip to Idaho for some wabbit fun I looked into this. You have to buy a "Nongame Gun" license which is $26.50. It is then good from Jan. thru Aug. I remember buying this license on some of the trips. Since it's been a couple years I think that I forgot about it.

However if you want to hunt Jacks or others in this category from Sep. thru Dec. you have to buy the small game license for $73.50. Here is a reference link: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/licenses/fees/nrlic.cfm
