Bill who shot his rabbitıs not right away but when they looked back feeling safe. Had a blue tick at one time but we turned him into more of a house pet. Blue tick is a beagle rabbit dog.. FYI Miss a shot an a good dog brings it back for another chance. Just shy of 80, 78+ to be closer. Now hunting rabbits with beagle hounds in the country is all together different. When you and the beagles are walking through the undergrowth and the beagles jump a rabbit (start barking and running the rabbit), you just stand still and follow the sound, because very soon that rabbit will come right back to the end of your gun barrel!! You cain't miss!! Tom J http://home.earthlink.net/~tomj_ga/ |

Sprinkle blood meal around the area. You'll have to replace it after
rain. Also, another trick if you have a cat or know someone who does, distribute used kitty litter around the edge of the property. Good luck! June Vivian Darkbloom wrote: My landlord won't allow me to put up a fence, so I'm open to all other suggestions. viv |

"Flower_Pot_Joe" wrote in message To be fair you really can justify taking innocent lives just for the sake of keeping your lawn clean. We're all honest gardeners here; and I feel mother nature has so much more to offer us than urban tripe. However this is a 'Rape' of mother nature. Garden loving isnt about killing rabbits its about letting wild animals run free in their natural habitat. To be fair can we really justify getting our excrcise jumping to conclusions while serving urban tripe? My "lawn" isn't what I would describe as clean because of the hundreds of kilos of turds on it. This is because it has to support ten horses and a couple of dozen cattle. Or I could just let it and my veges and orchard be turned to dust by introduced pests, bless their inocent little free running lives. Did you think I had such an extensive list at hand of ways to dispose of bunnies or to exclude them because I am just a mother nature raper at heart? I make no assumptions about the situation of the OP, what rabbits are to her region's ecology or the state of her karma as she decides between locking out the rabbits or to ritually feed them to her rottweiler under the full moon while dancing sky-clad. I just offered the information. I imagined that the qualifier at the end might have hinted that all the remedies may not be appropriate to all situations. David |
