I don’t know about the difference between a jackrabbit and a rabbit but rabbit jambalaya was sent from the gods. If you’re not hunting them for game why not hit em with the shotty. Super fun to shoot and you can teach quick lessons on how to hold it right because it usually only takes one shot holding it wrong.
Fair point. I actually checked, and the “jackrabbits aren’t worth eating” is apparently an old wives tail. I mostly wanted to try them first since they’re everywhere and there are no limits to worry about since they’re considered a nuisance.
My goal with the rabbits is to get used to shooting rifles with inexpensive rounds (can get away with. 22lr or even pellets) and a fallback to target shooting if we don’t find any. Shotguns are fun, but throwing pigeons is hard, and you need to take turns.
I’d certainly go with shotguns next (pheasant or duck) since they are super fun.
