Anybody seen one? I haven't in the last couple years. I've brought my dog along and I think I've kicked about a million brush piles and walked through a ton of briar patches. Side note, been up to Haynes Bottom once last winter and didn't see any sign there either.

Too many coyotes and bobcats.
The last couple of years I have turkey hunted there I have seen at least one bobcat and have had coyotes attack my dekes a couple of times.

Like stated, too many predators. I shot one 3 years ago there and it was the first, last, and only rabbit I have seen there.

I've hunted CWMA for 28 plus years, seen 2 rabbits in all that time.
Run into many hunters with there dogs and none reported seeing any.
There has to be some there, just not accessible I guess
I have only seen 2 coyotes to.
I hear them all the time, there are to many all over the state.

I haven't seen good rabbit population in a long long time, excepted in neighborhoods.
Too many predators after them.

Are there any middle or western TN WMA's that have rabbits? I've went to Haynes Bottoms just once but dogs didn't run anything. I didn't cover the entire place though. After deer season ends I want to try to find some grassy areas at LBL and Shelton's Ferry WMA. All of the deer hunters have made it tough to rabbit hunt on public land until that season is over.
