Bunnies

[BE Mike]

Over the years, I've had to control the rabbits on my property due to their destruction. My air rifle does well on the adults and when I find a litter buried in the ground, I take a shovel to them. This stew takes a long time, but it is delicious. Not for the squeamish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umRF1D3OsUc

We're running sprinklers keeping the flowers and the green belt around the house while everything else browns down, in other words maintaining a critter buffet. Well, we'd noticed the big urn pot by the back steps going down and figured maybe it was leaking. But now (yah ha) we know the deer are using it for a water hole. So OK, reckon a deer bath makes a nice balance to the bird bath on the other side of the steps.

The white bucket lids have high visibility and don't weigh near as much as May Bell.


When you wave a lid at the bunnies and you can tell by their reactions the ones previously buzzed by a bucket lid...
Actually had one book 'em when pulling a paper towel out of my pocket to blow my nose.

Meanwhile, the twins are hanging out, enjoying the oasis.


Ever notice there always seems to be one of the two that's rambunctious and the other kinda laid back?
Noticed pretty much the same thing in the backyard in southeast Texas. There was one set of twins that would give each other the heads up and cooperate together to get momma in a press between them because they didn't want to be weened yet.

I don't see the bunnies. Only thing I see is a deer way out in the background.

Two of them, one laying down and the other trying to instigate some action.
That urn pot to the left of the steps has become the "deer bath".

Another critter playing peek-a-boo around back.

Couldn't tell at first 'til it came out if it was a river otter or groundhog.
