Rabbits!

[allen_kcCard]

Help me get them out of my garden. The usual methods haven't worked!

You can also get some capsasin spray (pepper spray) but you have to do that fairly regularly.



You know, my buddy has one. It’s fat, incredibly slow, and has a collar that makes noise. On paper she shouldn’t be able to kill anything. They moved to a different house and she blew up something stupid like 10 rabbits and some birds in the first month. Now they don’t have any varmints.

It blew my mind. Hell, my fat ass can outrun her an she jingles. But she’s a rabbit killing machine.

Yea, they are relentless hunting machines. I miss my two, Max and Betty, RIP. Taking them out for runs in the woods or fields was always a blast.

If you want to get rid of critters eating your garden, a beagle will do the job.

Maybe he should introduce dingos into his yard. Are they better than beagles at rabbit hunting?

They'll eat babies

If it is hot, the dogs want to put their bellies on bare ground. Sometimes plants get smashed

Get a pet coyote

a 22lr is all you need. Maybe a 6pack to kill the time while you wait for one to hop up, but if they are thick, then you should have no problem.

My sister lives about 25 miles southwest of St. Louis. She's been having trouble with deer eating her trees. They killed two of her peach trees yesterday. She's PISSED and out for murdering Bambi.

Yeah, a .22 would work just fine, but I'm not sure what the laws are about those in city limits, and in a subdivision with 3 houses looking down on my backyard. I got a pellet gun a couple years ago for the same problem, but at that time it was a squirrel that was eating my tomatoes. I couldn't aim the damn thing for crap...or it couldn't aim for crap...or both. It is a handgun with CO2 cartridges, and I could see the bb shot go, but there was no way to get consistency in where it went. Part of why I stopped shooting it though was even that was loud enough that I could hear the shot echoing through the neighborhood and with neighbors that will call 911 for out of season fireworks I really didn't want to get raided for someone saying I was shooting a handgun in town.

Shoot from inside your house, through an open window or door and even if anyone hears it they won't be able to tell where it came from.

they've got some pretty sweet airsoft's out there. My old daisy hand pump bb gun would kill a rabbit if you hit it right. And it was not an expensive or powerful bb gun either.

I know back in the day, my uncle had a neighbor (in KC proper) that had a rooster that was a huge pain in the ass. He had a low power BB gun that he wanted to plunk it with when it was sounding off. Not sure what went wrong but the story goes that when he hit it, it fell over dead. He was pretty worried his neighbor was going to raise hell, but nothing ever came of it. BB guns can do some damage

I know the hair thing works for deer, so it might work for rabbits
