I personally don't have much experience trapping rabbits. But my neighbor 
some years back had about 40 acres fenced in where he kept field rabbits for 
training rabbit dogs. Hawks were his worst problem and he need to 
continually replenish them. He used rabbit traps baited with salt and corn. I 
cheerfully let him place traps on my acreage and he was successful!  Salt & 
field 
corn.  

In case any rabbit huggers read this, he had shelters and many brush piles 
for the rabbits to hide in.  He also had feeding stations, water holes and 
salt stations for them. They were treated well, just occasionally they had to 
run from the dogs. He never shot them. They were almost in rabbit heaven. 
They faired better there with his dogs then here with my coyotes.
