The annual rabbit hunt is one of the free
perks for Flint Bowmen members. It is held at one of our members,
Steve Fralicks’ hunting cabin in Prescott MI. This is a bow only
shoot so most of the rabbits are safe. We do usually get a lot of
shots and once in a while an arrow finds a rabbit. I think one
year, we even got two rabbits.
Most hunters usually get about 3 to
5 shots. The key is shoot, don’t wait for the perfect shot as
sometimes it doesn’t happen. The rabbits have a mind of their own
since they don’t want to be caught by the dogs that are chasing
them. We have two guys who don’t hunt but they bring their
beagles to chase the rabbits by the hunters. Some times, it
actually works like it is suppose to.
Please note that broadheads are not
allowed. You must use a blunt or Judo point. You will also need a small game
license and hunter’s orange is required by law.
Steve does make a fantastic chili lunch where
the rabbit stories fill the air. If you go once, you will surely be
back next year because it's a great time. The person who does get
the biggest rabbit wins the privilege to deer hunt for 3 days at Steve’s place in
the fall for free.
