JACK RABBITS ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND IN MOST AREAS OF UTAH OTHER THAN THE VERY REMOTE. IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO BE. I HAVE HAD GOOD LUCK NEAR A TOWN CALLED FAYETTE IT IS PROBALY 4-5 HOURS DRIVE SOUTH OF SALT LAKE CITY. ANOTHER AREA IS IN SOUTHERN UTAH NEAR THE TOWN OF MONTICELLO BUT THAT IS OVER A 7 HOUR DRIVE FROM SALT LAKE CITY.THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO AREAS THAT I HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST YEAR THAT I SHOT ENOUGH RABBITS TO MAKE IT WORTH MY TIME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE LOTS OF RABBITS WEST OF LEHI WHICH IS CLOSE TO SALT LAKE CITY BUT EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE I HAVE WALKED FOR 5-6 HOURS AND SHOT AT 5-6 RABBITS. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE NORM FOR MOST AREAS SO IF YOU LIKE A GOOD WALK IT IS FUN BUT IF YOU LIKE LOTS OF ACTION GOOD LUCK. IF YOU FIND SOMEWHERE LET ME KNOW. EVERYBODY SAYS THEY HAVE A GREAT AREA AND SHOOT SO MANY RABBITS THEY RUN OUT OF SHELLS, BUT THEN I GO AND SPEND AN ENTIRE DAY TO SHOOT 3 RABBITS. I GUESS I AM BAD LUCK, OR ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE FULL OF CRAP. AS FOR SPOT LIGHTING THE ANSWER IS GENERALLY NO. THERE USED TO BE A COUPLE OF COUNTIES IN UTAH YOU COULD BUY A SPOTLIGHT PERMIT FOR ABOUT $20 BUT THE LAST COUNTY I KNEW OF QUIT 4 YEARS AGO. I OFTEN SEE SPOTLIGHTS ACOMPANIED BY GUN SHOTS SO SOMEBODY THINKS ITS WORTH THE RISK.I WILL ADMIT I HAVE GONE SPOTLIGHTING BUT I GO IN AN AREA A FRIEND KNOWS THE ONLY LAW OFFICER AND HE LEAVES US ALONE IF WE PROMISE TO KILL ALL THEY COYOTES WE SEE AND TO LEAVE THE DEER ALONE.(THE OFFICERS FAMILY RUNS A SHEEP FARM SO HE IS A LITTLE BIASED AGAINST COYOTES)
AND THAT WAS A WHILE AGO IN A VERY REMOTE AREA.
