Have you ever noticed that the more you kill or trap rabbits the more rabbits you get in return. There seems to be a natural balance in a rabbit population. I have three pairs on the farmsted area of my land, always three never two or four. I leave them alone and work around them. I even gave them names. If another pair invades the others chase them away. Yes there are babies everywhere but few survive. I don't mess with the natural balance. I once saw a neighbors dog chase down and tear appart a rabbit in my hay field. If I had a shot gun I would have shot the dog. I view dogs as invasive species sort of like the neighbors who own them...Bob.----- Original Message -----From: Jason JonesTo: Market FarmingSent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 6:13 AMSubject: [Market-farming] rabbit control and dogsIs anyone using dogs for control of rabbits? How does one train a dog to kill the rabbits once the dog finds them? It seems as most of the dogs I have seen around rabbits just chase them around. The rabbits seem to have the upper hand.
