With the amount of rabbits around, I'm sure it's a frequent meal.

We have very few rabbits here only ever see them at night through the thermal and there is no more than 3 which I find surprising because there isn’t to many coyotes and fox by my house.

Wow, we've got a half dozen on our lawn every morning.

I drive down the road and see one, or two or more on just about every lawn. 

I'm hoping there's still a few around after a few frosts hit in October.  I'll definitely shoot a few.

Had  no rabbits at all for 20 years. Not even a track. 5 years ago saw 1 down the road  3 years ago had  one  in yard. Now  I have 6 to 10 in yard every am

NJ moved our rabbit season up to early fall several years ago because that old wives tale that you have to wait until a hard frost before eating rabbits was long ago disproven. Yes, they can carry worms, but humans can’t get worms from eating rabbits.

I agree 100%. It's the grubs that gets me.

I just can't get over watching a black grub working it's way out of a dead bunny. Just don't want to eat that rabbit.

They give birth along our patio every year . That’s mom feeding them in the hole she buries them in , she comes by 2x a day .

Unfortunately, I find a nest or two every year while mowing.
