I can see you on a breezy summer evening enjoying a lapin au vin, with a glass of wine, on your porch overlooking Temecula. π

Tularemia is not that common. Just to be safe, wear gloves when cleaning them, wash up afterward, and cook the meat. It’s a bacteria relatively easy to eliminate with cooking.I shoot rabbits from my back porch all the time. The little monsters attack my ornamental plants and grape vines. I use a .177 Beeman R9 air rifle; it makes little noise, and is limited much more by the skill of the shooter than the accuracy of the gun. Longest distance I have shot one is about 50 yards. With its scope, though, I constantly fear the neighbors will see and take me for the homicidal maniac I truly am, so I usually hunt at dusk or dawn.
They’re easy hunting, and if you want to eat them you would not go hungry for a while. I can’t bring myself to eat them, however, having seen the fleas and ticks crawling off, so I leave them for the coyotes to eat at night.
I suspect suppression of rattlesnakes gets the bunny population going.

July 8, 2011 at 6:37 AM #708249scaredyclassicParticipantour cats have been eating about 3 bunnies a week. it is freaky to watch them devour the bunnies. they just chomp down the head. it’s scary and makes you realize what they would do to you if they could. we have one of four cats who is a good hunter and does most of the catching. it is fascinating. they leave a neat pile of gut there on the porch but they eat everything, even fur. there is not one effing bit of rabbit left but a colon and some intestine. the boss cat basically just eats the head (brains good?) and leaves the rest for his underlings.
