About This Book

The bulletin examines the distribution, life history, and habits of native cottontail rabbits, contrasting them with larger hares and noting their tendency to inhabit copses and thickets and to produce helpless young. It describes the kinds of damage these rabbits cause to orchards, tree plantations, gardens, and newly cultivated fields through vegetation feeding. It reviews suppression and protection strategies, covering natural enemies and epizootics, hunting, trapping, and poisoning, and preventive measures such as rabbit-proof fencing, tree washes and mechanical guards, and other practical safeguards for crops and young trees.
