Catching Rabbits

[Brad H.]

So I've proven to myself that i can catch coon, coyote, and fox but I have a little peckerhead of a rabbit wreaking havoc in my garden and I cant catch the little bastard. So far I have only tried a live trap with no success. Has anyone ever tried anything else like a #1 or a #110? Also, whats your preferred bait for a live trap?

Little SOB has destroyed my green beans this year. He only comes out after dark so shooting it is going to be tough, although I havent ruled out getting a pair of night vision goggles and going Rambo on it!

We box trap rabbits to relocate them for the beagle club I belong to. We use apples for bait,you still need to try and stay some what sent free. If you goggle box trapping rabbits you should find some plans on them. I have not had much luck with the live traps. Maybe if you cover the trap well and make it look like a cubby it will work better. But use apples and put a few pealing in front of the trap first to get him/her interested. Best of luck to you.
