    Never walk right up to a thicket or brush pile and start kicking it, stop short of it and just stand still for a minute. The rabbits are just like deer, they get nervous thinking you see them and will bolt. That way you have a good stance right off the bat.

    for brush piles a good tip is to use a long stick instead of stepping or kicking them. we just leave a long stick at each pile so no carrying it around

    Great video!!!
    I really like all the action shots. Wearing your camera on your head gives us a good look at the rabbits as they tear off through the brush.
    Nice job!!

    Good video man, well done. Beautiful day and good hunting. Too old to bust the brush anymore like i did for 60 years but, still go with a dog. Love it. Good luck in the future.

    I really enjoy watching your hunting videos. The quality is very superior. I got into rabbit hunting as a kid and still love it at 31. I gave up on deer hunting years ago here in W. Michigan when our private land got sold. Since then I have became more of a small game hunter and even convinced the wife to let me get a couple beagles to be part of our family and hunting partners. Keep up the great work on the videos.

      Awesome video! Our rabbit population here in S. Eastern PA has really fallen off the last 10 yrs..
      Need new gas rings / rubber ring, clean the gas ports (use a small drill bit) and remove clean and lube the slide / action follower where it goes into butt stock.
      I have a 1100 special field that used to do the same.
      Also if its an 1187, make sure you're shooting at the minimum 3 dram shells, they dont like any ammo under 3 drams...
      You can change the action spring to a lighter spring if you want to keep shooting lite loads..

    You more than likely have the wrong gas valve in your gun. There's a magnum load valve and a field load valve. My weatherby sa08 20 gauge jammed every shot with the magnum gas valve with field loads, changed to the field load valve, and it cycled every shot.
