Damn rabbits

thanks for the suggestions all, I took down 3 of the lil fuzzy bunnies this morning. the predator urine is one that I have heard before.

I shut all the small gaps and holes between gate/fences. This made rabbit hard to use my property as a pathway. This stopped it on my small prpoerty.

For a large property as great kazoo stated, coyote urine works.

I use vinegar (on a sidewalk) to deter dogs from urinating on my lawn, but vinegar doesn't work too well for a rabbit.

Tried Cayenne Pepper at the suggestion of Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Worked for about a week and then I noticed that the rabbits just lay where I sprinkled it.
Talk about adapting fast.

It works, even to keeping the skunks out of the back 4 tay

They're rolling in pepper as a seasoning before you shoot them

That's due to it's potency weakening from moisture. 1 rain or frost on the ground and it's gone.

They do taste good with Asian Zing sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings.

I was reapplying daily to keep it fresh. They just plain got used to it and didn't care anymore.
But, I like the pre-seasoning concept. Just have to watch out for the neighborhood Nazi's that have the sheriff on speed-dial.

Must be a new bunch of bunnies somewhere around the backyard. My pup Daisy has caught and killed 2 little ones in the past 2 days. She very proudly brought the one today into the house to show off to my wife.

No pic of dead bunnies, but here is one of Daisy.

In Wellington the rabbit population has exploded. They have eaten big patches out of my lawn and killed it. I come out at night and they are everywhere.

We have tons of them. They live in the blackberry brambles. They don't bother anything. Packrats are a different story. They create all kinds of havoc under the hood.

Stray cats are the worst. Jumping up on the side and hood of my car and truck, scratching the paint and leaving little paw prints everywhere. I seem to have solved that problem, though. Haven't seen one in months.
