HUNTING AROUND THE EDGES:  Hunting around the edges 
…. We explain what that means on Passport to Texas. 

This is Passport to Texas

Expect success nearly every outing when rabbit hunting—
especially when you hunt around the edges.

04—[Those are] Areas where people aren’t necessarily going to 
be conducting other activities.

Andy Gluesenkamp, Director of Conservation at San 
Antonio Zoo, and an avid rabbit hunter, says hunting 
rabbits provides a “walk in the woods” experience. But 
what about those edges?

21—You would look for fence lines along fallow fields, or old 
pasture, or berry patches and cactus patches….So, there’s less 
competition with other land use – like cattle grazing. Rabbit 
hunting usually won’t disturb cattle. Or, you’re not going to be 
competing with deer hunters who are going to be in another kind 
of habitat.

Ask landowners about hunting their property, or consider 
hunting on TPW’s public lands. Hunt rabbits year-round; 
however, the cooler months have their advantages.

14—It’s pleasant – getting back to that walking in the woods 
experience – also in summertime when it’s really dry, they can be a 
lot leaner. I prefer to eat them when they have a little bit of fat on 
them. If there’s green grass on the ground – that’s the perfect time 
to go rabbit hunting. 
 
Rabbit as a tasty treat. That’s tomorrow.
