I understand your dilemma. In my youth, I loved to fish, but as I got older, I started having trouble putting a hook through live bait.

Isn’t there a way you can twap the wabbit humanely without injuring it, and then relocate it?

Sometimes they are just too far away for me to get a good shot with my pellet gun, or the pellet might hit them and not penetrate. They jump really high but get away. Other times they are very far away but I still wound them. That slows them enough for my German Shepherd to chase them and catch them and have a yummy meal. The rabbit gets a couple of acres head start on the dog so very often the rabbit wins. My dog goes crazy when she sees me getting the pellet gun.

Sometimes a day or two later I will see a bunch of Vultures out in the yard eating something. I figure whatever I shot a day or two ago finally succumbed. Birds gotta eat too.

Rabbits can really decimate a green bean patch. They won't bother them after they get big but when they first pop out of the ground the rabbits really love them. You either gotta get a fence or a chair and sit in the chair 24/7 until the plants get over a foot tall. We use the fence method.

Dog caught a groundhog yesterday. She didn't want to eat it for some reason and so the Vultures got it. She didn't like seeing the Vultures eating her catch and ran them off once. That worried me. Vultures are big, not quite as big as her but huge birds. They didn't like her messing with them but they took to the air until she left. A dozen Vultures can make a quick meal of a groundhog. They only leave a few bones and a little hair.
