Lotta bunnies in the yard this year...

[bwframe]

...hope they stay out of my crops.

Our yard is full of them. We have a blind dog and they've figured him out already. Just sit, eat and watch him walk by. The other dog a smaller older yorkie starts chasing them but they're too fast. When he gives up, they come back at him just to keep the game going.

I still hear the neighborhood beagle bawling every once in a while, but not near like she used to with way fewer bunnies than this year.

We seem to have a burrow (sometimes two) in the yard somewhere every year. Same this year. I count at least 3 rabbits eating grass in the yard every morning.

Rabbits do not usually burrow. The wild hares in Europe and Australia do. Cottontails WILL use groundhog dens to hide in though.

There's a way to help keep that from happening. Would also probably be somewhat beneficial for you in a couple of different ways, too.

Found three nests in my yard this spring and summer. More running around at night too.

We have them all over our neighborhood. And we even have coyote's that come through. I wish they would eat more rabbit!

Had a family in my front yard this yard this year. First time ever. Noticed a bunch of loose grass so I moved it with my shoe to uncover the nest. Within a week they were big enough to be gone. Surprised my mowing people didn’t get them.

We too had a bumper crop of them this year. Our Jack Russells have got several little ones, but there's still a bunch of them around.

The only things we have more of than bunnies this year are tree frogs and toads. Near biblical plague levels.

Rabbits burrow in my yard constantly. We currently have three of them. They burrow inside the fence apparently feeling safe from coyotes except my German Shepherds usually get them instead. Back around Father's Day weekend we had 6 inches of rain overnight and one of the burrows in the yard was totally underwater. They drowned because they were newborns. My wife went out to "rescue" them the next morning but they weren't strong or old enough to get out of the burrow in the yard and met a wet fate.

Anyone in the country near Fishers or Noblesville need me to cap a few rabbits for you, I’ve got room in my freezer!

When does the season come it?

Rabbit population up, coyotes up, squirrels up. deer up, turkey down. Speaking from Brown county. Most of the turkey brood this year is gone (wet spring ?).

We have had 1 bunnie in the back yard this summer. He/she (??) is at ease with us and the kids. Pretty casual. There are teeth marks on some things in the garden.

Do bunny's eat maters..??

Pest control / crop protection is different than hunting.

We have a few onions that everything above ground is eaten. Some bites taken from low hanging maters and a couple of cucumbers. Not sure what is doing it.
