Damn Rabbits and my lawn

[Jer]

We have a rabbit problem too and unfortunately having a rabbit problem turns into having a rattle snake problem. Our neighborhood NW of Loveland made the Denver Post who last year did a story on rattlesnakes in neighborhoods. My idiot neighbors feed them all the time and don't realize why they had a 4' rattle snake sunning itself in their front yard. Idiots.

I'm waiting until October 1st then I am going to go after a few critters with my cold steel big bore blowgun I got from sportsmans... Not sure as to legality where you live though... But might be a thought! My dad lives in another state but he has shot several chipmunks and they have died rather quickly! I have been making darts with shishkibob skewers tipped with a x-acto Blade and I'm pretty sure it's going to be hell on squirrels so I'm sure it would work on rabbits... They are pretty thin skinned.. Heart shot you should be golden,.. As long as they don't run in the neighbors yard after you shoot them anyway. Cold steel still makes a broadhead for them just not a razor tipped one anymore.. But the broadhead penetrates awesome and when you hit something soft like the side of the rabbit the orange tip comes off and the metal dart goes all the way through... YouTube hunting rabbits with blowguns.. Tim wells and his buddy buck shoot a couple but they seem to run a little ways.. Practice and do head shots and you should be fine... As long as its legal? I have had a blast practicing with mine and can't wait to hunt small game with it

I have a great rabbit cacciatore recipe. My secret ingredient is rabbit raised on fresh herbs and vegetables from the neighborhood's gardens.

Use a pellet gun rated below 800 fps, then its quiet. You can get the wascally wabbit!!

The new high velocity ones sound like a 22.

Gammo Whisper rules the roost in my yard. 1000-1200 fps based on the pellets used. I usually get 1-2 a day. Walk them down to the north property line and the coyotes pick them up for a snack.

Bow or pellet gun. The bow is more fun. Messier, but more fun.

Should be able to put them into a bag and throw them in your own trash.

I've done this with no problems. The first one I shot with the CO2 pistol with hunting pellets took a shot in the head and jumped two feet in the air and just laid down dead. Or so I thought. Got a thick lawn trash bag to pick it up and as soon as I touched it, the SOB jumped up! Ram 10 feet them dropped again. Scared the shit out of me!

Then you better hunt only the day before your trash goes out. One little F***er reeked up my entire garage for five days

[hollohas]

If it's too long before trash day just stick the bag in your freezer. Take it out on trash day...no smell. Just make sure the wife doesn't find Mr bunny sitting on top of her meatloaf.

Poor rabbits, all they want to do is eat you lawn and hump.

Oh, hell, that's all I ever want to do lately.
