Gruesome but similar to de heading chicken and then plucking or
skinning. *Hot water and resolve *all that is needed.-

I gotta add, Bill, for those who don't have old-fashioned knowledge
(and I know you do), have a care about tularemia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tularemia).... and fleas. *Plus, if
you have a sensitive tummy related to smells, dress 'em outside.

Rabberts die easily, a pellet gun will take care of them with little
noise to alert the cute-bunny-lovers.

The crafty rabbit has three different entrances to its lair
Chinese Proverb

there are a lot of things sold on the market that u can put on your
tree
but i would fence the area in as brooklyn1 mentioned, cut off any jagged
edges or ripped up bark as carefully as u can.
other than that all u can do is wait and keep talking to your tree and
yes
i do mean talking even though i know there are some that dont believe in
it.
i think most gardeners talk with their plants, trees, etc and if they
say they dont well who am i to say if they do or not lolol.
good luck with your tree. cyaaaaaaa, sockiescat.

Thanks for the responses. I kind of think the tree is done for, too,
but will wait to see what happens when the others start to leaf out.
And I appreciate the recipe for rabbit stew.
