Snares might be illegal for rabbits

Snares would be my first choice. They are super easy to snare. Second would be to use cages near their dens and brush them in heavy. Make them a spot they feel safe and protected from above. Worst case, call an exterminator. And last, be VERY quiet when hunting Wabitts!

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

I have nothing clever to put here.

And maybe put cardboard down and cover it with snow so the rabbits can't feel that they're stepping on wire

So you only tried cages 1 night?
Might just undercoat the vehicle.

I'd bait with brake lines. Try NAPA.

Wooden box traps, Apple slices soaked in salt water. Small pieces leading in to the trap.

This time of year, bait with high energy grains. Dry beans, sunflower seeds, popcorn kernels or piece of ear corn if you have it. And cover the cage trap to make it a dark tunnel and place it near the same cover where the tracks are.

I cage trapped some cottontails for a lady who had them digging under her shed. I used some lettuce and carrots. Put some outside the front of the cage trap. Not too much, but enough to give them a free taste. Trail a larger amount inside the trap with the largest amount beyond the pan. Worked fine for me.


It's been months since I bought the book, "How To Scam People On Line". It still hasn't arrived yet.

Maybe you could build a smaller version of your large highly effective coyote live trap and incorporate a veterinary society approved execution chamber into it.

What you’re going to want to do is… dress up like a carrot… lay out in the yard at night … when they hop up for a nibble… let out an Apache war cry and bust them over the head with half drank longneck bottle
