Cottontail Rabbit Gameplay Notes

The cottontail rabbit does not make sounds loud enough to be detected as clues on the HunterMate, nor does it respond to any lures. This can make rabbit hunting quite frustrating if you do not know some very specific details about it’s behaviour.

Due to its small size and the high grass in areas where it is typically found it can be very difficult to detect and your first encounter is likely to be seeing it hopping away from you or finding a fleeing track.

In contrast to other species having a rabbit flush is not all bad. The cottontail will begin to search for a place to hide while running, usually thick vegetation such as bushes and shrubs. Once it has found a suitable hiding spot it will stay there and won’t come out for quite a while.

Multiple tactics can be used in this situation such as staking out the area where the rabbit is believed to be hiding and picking it off with a precision weapon such as a bow or air rifle once it comes out or to simply stomp around in the hiding area hoping to flush the wabbit like a Pheasant, taking it with a shotgun. There may be other tactics that we haven’t thought of but that will be for you guys to figure out.

Happy Rabbit-Hunting!
