Neil,what kind of rabbits are you speaking of? I was really amazed that yall have so many!! I can see how they could be a problem to people who depend on their crops for food or money.I grew up on a farm and have eaten rabbit as well as squirrel when i was younger.Now i still live in the country but no longer eat them because i don't have to.I have a pair that come in my front yard and sometimes see them them on the side of country roads but nothing like your talking about.I was just curious what kind of rabbit or how big are these rabbits?Is it 1 type of rabbit,the big jack rabbits,i don't remember the last time i seen a big one. Just curious!!
