Yeah, spotlights at night, and whatever .22 rimfire or whatever varmint rifle suits you. Back when I was just getting into centerfire, my father, his brother and I would go out on back country roads to shoot jacks. My father used a .220 Swift; Uncle Joe used his Varminter (Jerry Gebby's original .22-250.) and I used 110-grain handloads in my '06. (I also loaded 80-grain pistol bullets, which tended to spread rabbit parts over large areas.)
Occasionally there will be a population explosion of jackrabbits. This happened in SW Idaho and northern Nevada in 1980 or 1981. A buddy of mine and I sat above a marshy area not far from Winnemucca and killed over a hundred without leaving the truck. The farmers in Idaho were building vee-shaped trap fences of chicken wire, and then several hundred people would herd a bunch of jacks in and club them...
