How did you kill a rabbit with a dead weasel? Keith I was wondering when someone would ask,lol. When I trap I also set rabbit snares to get meat. As I walked into a box,I noticed a rabbit was in a snare,but must have just got caught,he was caught by the neck but had not started to struggle at all,just hunkered down thought he was hiding. I had seen that the box trap held a frozen dead weasel,so I removed the weasel,and reset the trap.I thought to myself when I got to the rabbit,I wonder how a rabbit will react to a weasel coming at him,so I tossed the frozen weasel at the hiding rabbit. As soon as the dead weasel hit the ground beside him he went into a frenzy of jumps and broke his own neck. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
