Yo!I have a problem with about 1/2 dozen rabbits chewing up my early garden. Even though the season is closed, what can I do to reduce the number of these little buggers. I've got a 22 warmed up and ready to go, just want to know if anybody knows of any laws that will allow me to "reduce" their numbers as a land owner.

    To quote Bill Klinton, "Don't ask, don't tell". Just shoot the little buggers and get rid of them and nobody will know.

    follow the old 3S rule (shoot, shovel and shut-up) a good pellet gun won't make as much noise CB caps work well also

    Yep, a pellet gun does just fine, and then you get some nice fried rabbit.

    Coyotes work cheap, and most of the time they are quiet.

    My grandmother soaks rabbit-bait in antifreeze. I wouldn't recommend it because I find it to be cruel. I'm sure it's illegal too. I'd go with a pellet gun.

    We had a problem with squirrels in our attic a few years ago and recently our dog began tearing up the yard around the edges of the foundation to find cool dirt for napping. We solved both problems by tossing a large amount of moth balls around the area. This ran the squirrels out of the attic, too hot to sit up there and wait for the little buggers!!, and the dog couldn't stand the odor and ceased digging and sleeping near the house. We now keep a small supply in the cupboard should we have the need for them.

    susies got the idea. sprinkle the mothballs in and around your garden,no rabbits,no groundhogs no mice. keep in attic and critters will avoid,or leave. carl

    I use a Havahart trap and a handful of Omolene, something about the grain and molasses that drives bunnies nuts. Take 'em somewhere and release or grease the skillet, your choice. I do the same with feral cats, only I crack open a tin of sardines, place in a ziplock bag and let it rot out in the sun. When I need 'bait', I fork out a few chunks and liberally coat the stick I'm using with the rancid oil, toss it the back of the havahart. I usually have something bouncing in the cage the next morning.I let you use your imagination on what I do with the cat, and no, I don't grease the skillet. Good luck.
