No Cottontails up here, that is a young Snowshoe not much more than 4" long right now.  I scared him and his 2 siblings a few days ago next to the lawn and they were tripping over dead leaves trying to get away, I hope he's not the only one left.  Makes walking around a bit harder for fear of stepping on one

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

We're getting a population boom of cottontails this year in NE Kansas. Giving me fits with my garden this Spring... >:(
No hasspfeffer though. There's no closed season on rabbits here but I won't eat a warm weather rabbit .

Took good eyes to find that lil sucka!

Paul our bunny population is down around my place. Some years they literally destroy our many flower beds, the last two years I've seen zero in the yard. Could have something to do with my pooch eating the babies :)

the ebb and flow of predator and prey. I laugh at the areas that the hunters kill all the coyotes. That's the return you get.

You know I tried to raise cottontails and even jack rabbits that age in NW Iowa.They won't eat.Very very nervous things.Just stand there and shake.Eventually they died.
Now around here in southern Iowa if you got a lot of rabbits you'll have bobcats around.We have lots of coyotes yet too.Year round season on them.
But now what kills the most rabbits around me here is owls.Barred and Horned alike.

Paul, if all you ate were cold weather rabbits down here you would be hungry. We have big Swamp rabbits and cottontails and they taste the same all year.
