Rabbits
First and foremost lets get the boring stuff out of the way. Rabbit season opens September 1 and runs through February 28. Their are a few expeditions to this their are a few wildlife management association lands that do not allow rabbit hunting in them. The fines for breaking these rules are from $200.00 up to $1000.00 kinda steep yes? So I say stay legal. Rabbit hunting is relatively easy. You get your shotgun go were the rabbit are and shoot them. Sounds easy enough. But there is a little more to it then that.Every time I get ready to go hunting anything I always get written permission from the land owner even if they have told me before that i can hunt there. them i buy plenty of shells you will shoot a lot before you reach you daily bag limit of 8 rabbits.speaking of bag limits the possession limit is 16.

Squirrel

The Fall squirrel season for 2008 and 2009 is about over. It started September 6 2008 and runs till February 28 2009. But do not fret my friends we have the Spring hunt coming soon it will Open May 16 and go till June 14 and we will be allowed to use our dog. That is when squirrel hunting gets really interesting . With the dogs barking tree and the leaves in the way so you can't find the tree rats. I guess i am getting old because I

Quail

The quail season runs from November 1- February 8. As with any hunt the first thing you want to do is to get permission from the land owner. Then you get your bird dog and plenty of shells and hit the Fields or the wood lines. Quail hunting in the thick wood is to difficult for my blood.The daily bag limit on quail is six the possession limit is twelve.
