HUNTING RABBITS: How might you describe rabbit 
hunting? 06 [" ... is rabbit hunting."] ... .we'll explain ahead on 
Passport to Texas. 

This is Passport to Texas

When most people think of hunting, they think: deer, 
dove, duck and feral hogs. But, TPW herpetologist, Andy 
Gluesenkamp, isn't most people. 

04 -- I hunt primarily rabbits; rabbit hunting is really near and dear 
to my heart.

Andy's love affair with rabbit hunting started when he 
was a boy spending time in the field alongside his father. 

15 -- I have really fond memories of hunting rabbits with my dad. 
So, I can say I think it's the best way to start kids on hunting, 
because I can look at my personal experience and tie my love of 
nature all the way back to those early experiences.

Hunting for small game like rabbit has its own rhythm.
 
12 -- Rabbit hunting is the perfect balance between the abject 
boredom that goes with sitting in a deer blind, and maybe or 
maybe not seeing a deer, and maybe or maybe not getting to shoot 
at it, and the battle zone, frontline, fire fest that can be a good day 
of dove hunting. So, somewhere between being bored out of your 
socks and sounding like you're in an air raid is rabbit hunting.
 
Andy Gluesenkamp says it's like a walk in the woods 
interspersed with the excitement of sighting your prey 
and taking a good shot. More on rabbit hunting 
tomorrow.
