Rabbits

[The Man]

Getting a few around the house...can pass within just a few feet of a couple before they dart off ..they dont go far..maybe ten feet or so.
Getting used to humans...kinda cool

But...they hang in some brush piles I need to burn..I dont want to burn em unless I know there are no rabbits in them.

How to scurry rabbits out of brush piles without them going into the piles deeper as they think it will make them safer.

Can you show us pictures? Maybe you should tempt them with one of those cage traps and some lettuce.

Rabbits are smart enough to run. If you need to burn then burn. Besides there is no rabbit shortage.

you don't see burned rabbits lying about after a field fire

I had to quit planting sunflowers because the rabbits kept topping them.

I wouldnt know if I had them all

My concern is them going further into the piles and having no escape..dont want to burn em alive

Its piles not open fields ...stacked brush from wind damage and minor clearing

Not sure what they are eating around here..but there is something they like..am curios now as to what is drawing them.

I've been noticing more rabbits around too. And you're right, they do not fear humans as much it seems. They dig holes in my lawn all the time which is a pain. But they are so cute!

A dog will root them rabbits out, then burn it down

Rabbits are very fine and I really enjoy their meat I have a neighbour that keeps rabbits in a large scale and sometimes I go there to watch them playing.
