what is the best way to hunt rabbits

[pjsabella]

That's a good question. Probably the best way would be to hunt over some dogs. But if you don't have that luxury (I sure don't) then the best way would be find a hidden patch of honeysuckle and work it very slowly with another hunter. One of you kick the bushes and the other stand ready. Last week I went out in PA and found a small honey suckle patch not much bigger than my living room and I worked it thoroughly and managed to kick out 8 rabbits. A little bit of snow helps with this as well.

Pjsabella recommends a good technique. My answer is start by looking on the ground as rabbits seldom roost in trees.

Train a Basset Hound, they are fantastic rabbit and companion dogs.

Good point Kody, I had been skunked on a foothill whitetail hunt in Montana... only to have my hunting buddy step outside his backdoor at the ranch we were staying at and paste a 4x5 buck.
I don't know that it was sporting, but it was tasty.
So I retract my statement, check in the trees for rabbits too!
