Rabbit is one of the easiest thing to hunt. First kill and meal for many young hunters. And squirrel. As a kid, we always just knew where different animals were around in different wooded areas where we played around town or outskirts of town.
Used to shoot them with BB guns and they run off.
Then dads find out we know where the rabbits are so they bring out the .22 rifle. Then I learned, if you want to know where the wildlife is located, as a kid that plays in the woods.
