I like to go out this time of year and make brush piles for the rabbits I hunt. I usually go and cut some cedars and get some old pallets and pile them up. This year I am also going to get some 4 inch pipe and run them under the piles it really gives them a place to hide from predators such as foxes and cats. I also heard recently from some rabbit hunters that if you put out salt for rabbits it helps them produce if there is any truth to this I dont know, but I am going to try it deer love salt so why wouldn't rabbits I think Iam going to get the mineral blocks for deer and bust them in smaller pieces and place them by rabbit feeding areas. I have a 5 acre field on my property that I let grow feral I cut paths threw it to allow grass and clover to grow plus they have the honeysuckle to eat and breed in. I hope my rabbit numbers are up next year I think they were down in my good spots due to feral cats which I plan on removing, feral cats can ruin a good hawking spot. I have noticed there are alot of feral cat colonies popping up in my areas our local newspaper wrote a article about how these wonderful people feed them and help them out. Personally I think they should be eradicated but it is illegal here to kill cats 
So I will live trap them and take them to the animal shelter where they will be disposed of. I don't mind cats as long as they are in the house but running free they are a real problem to wildlife.
