I need help from the Freeper Community. My entire bean garden was wiped out by a cottontail rabbit this weekend. The rabbit can be seen in my backyard mocking me with her twitching nose. I have been an avid hunter and have killed myriads of game before but I am having difficulty (with my wife's advice) from sending this Obama rabbit to the great carrot garden in the sky. My question is thus: Is my hesitancy in expediting this rabbit a sign of liberal or worse RINO behavior? Am I caving in to the zeitgeist of the times by not putting a .22 into the head of Watership Down resident? My other options are repellant sprays, live trapping, or installing a $100 rabbit fence. If I get any Freeper responses to my dilemna, I will follow their advice (like a true RINO). The fate of Peter Cottontail is now in your hands!
It’s OK to have a pet bunny, but you do run the risk of supporting a bunny family not far down the road. They reproduce like, well, rabbits.
Perhaps like me you have lost your blood lust. There are a few predators I will shoot but otherwise I enjoy wildlife. And their lives, often tough, are all they have and I would rather watch them, and feed them, then to snuff out what little they have. Name your critters and enjoy them - except the big bad wolf, coyotes and a few winged thingys.
Is it wabbit season or duck season?
Until you got the the soap I couldn't tell if you wanted to repel the rabbit or marinate him.
I suggest that the problem be viewed as a matter of illegal immigration by rabbits onto your land. Your preferred solution — vigorous interior enforcement — works only as long as you are there and on guard. Since you have competing obligations and there is a vast number of rabbits looking to trespass and live off the fruits of your efforts, it seems to me that a fence that is impermeable to rabbits is the preferred solution — backed up, of course, by .22 caliber interior enforcement.
.22?
Slingshot. Spear. Atlatl. Wire snare. Arrow.
Expand your horizons.
Kill it and grill it.
(1) SHOOT...
(2) SHOVEL...
(3) SHUTUP...!!
HEADS-UP:
Some squirrels shoot back!

Monday humor... enjoy!
Given the scarcity of .22 ammo, the $100 bunny wabit fence might not be a bad idea.
I can relate! We have been relocating a family of 4 of these little rascals. They have been having a wonderful time bounding around our garage at all times of the night, knocking over pots, opening bins, and eating all the cat food. One night they opened every single drawer in the tool cabinets and climbed up them like stairs to get at a couple of onions. The swampy woods are full of crayfish and and other tasty raccoon treats but when I chase them off they come right back. So now we are driving them across the spillway and letting them go on the other side of the lake! These little guys don't even growl when caged. They just act like a pouty pet that just got in trouble. Guess it could be worse. My dad has skunks at the deer camp!
The worms are fly larva under the skin. About the size of your thumb.
Shoot it, skin it, sauté it.
First, git yourself a holy hand grenade. Take no chances.
If you do not want to shoot it, get a fake owl from the local nursery, put it on a pole, and move it around the garden every other day. It works.
have shot deer with black scabs on the skin and was told it was those underskin fly larvae that had hatched and left already....
Sounds like you are becoming a MetroSexual
The nutrients of your bean garden are still there but in the form of a cute little fuzz ball. Recover your investment. Shoot, cook, and eat the little b***ard before some local cat, hawk, or coyote does it for you. Rabbits are nature’s protein candy.
Probably was.
That one reason why I always skin wild pigs. They are full of fly larva.
If you were near me in East York (PA), I’d bring over my Class III (SBR, suppressed) AR-15, and get him for you.
