We have an epidemic here the rabbits are so over populated in Montana that harvest numbers barely keep up.. good call though way to be thinking of the animals shows great ethics .. Hawk a/ho

I am not sure if you can tell the difference between males and females... other than by who is on top ;D ;)

That is just too cool, congrats Josiah! Gotta be proud Hawkbow.

HT, I think it's great that you're concerned about harvesting females/males and seasons. As Mike stated , the rate of predation is not in tune with the rate of reproduction and so something has to give and in this case the vegetation will be overbrowsed, disease will spread more rapidly etc until there is a natural die off. By harvesting these abundant rabbits they are increasing the predation rate and keeping the local population in check and healthier.

Ummmm.... Rabbit Cacciatore! way to go Josiah!  As per Tracy's point, I agree as I'm sure our friends in Australia could attest-the introduced rabbits took over, from what i understand.  I wish my neighbor shared HT's ethics - he shot a 6pt, 2 does and button buck this year in our very overhunted national forest area.
Hawk, ya must be very proud!
