Since my hawking season ended today I am going to start helping out the rabbits. I do this by improving the habitat in my hawking areas. I start off by making brushpiles this gives the rabbits a place to breed and hide from predators. I make most of my brushpiles by cutting down small pine trees and laying them on top of pallets and 4 inch pipe they love to get in those pipes because most predators cant.. I also am going to put out some salt and mineral blocks I heard that it helps with breeding, it cant hurt. I also cut trails in my fields which allows the clover and grass to come up and create places for them to graze. I am going to live trap the feral cats in my areas they are very hard on baby bunnys in the spring. It is illigal to shoot them here so I will have to trap them and take them to animal control and let them do it which doesnt make much sense to me. I think cats running loose should be considered a nuisance species and should be killed year round they are very hard on wildlife. We have alot of feral cat colonies in my area people come to these areas and feed the cats and put boxes for them to get in because they feel sorry for them all this does is make the problem bigger. I really dont like cats running loose if you have them in the house good but dont let them run free and as Bob Barker says please spay and neauter your pets
