Looking for ways to get the rabbit under son's targe back deck. He's set a couple of traps out away from the house at some holes in the property fence hoping to catch it on its way back and forth to the field, but no luck so far.
Deck is 12' x 20' but only about 12 inches above ground level.
Don't have any live traps, was thinking about about a cubby with a long setback ( they have a 4 year old, don't wait to trap the inquisitive ) at the end of the deck.
Does anyone have suggestions for an effective rabbit bait. His wife wants the rabbit gone! Son doesn't want to use anything attractive to the coon population.

Thanks for the replies. LT GREY, I agree with you, if it was just my son's place, he wouldn't care. But we all know, 'when mama isn't happy no one is happy!' So city mama says rabbit has to go. I would be feeding that rabbit all summer and have a great rabbit stew this fall, personally ... but then I'm like that. Lol

Exclusion work around the deck. Leave a small hole for the trap. Plug hole when finished.
X2 that's what I did works very well when there is snow, so you can pack up the edges. I just put a 110 over the pre-existing hole and got him a week later. Too me a 110 seemed a little small for the big cotton tails we have.

Snow, what's that? Lol. We haven't had more than 4" on the ground at any one time all winter here. Thinking about it, probably why the rabbit is under the deck. Not enough snow to exclude him or her from belly crawling under the deck.

We had about two feet or so a little below average this year.
