Buy a hav-a-hart trap and set it outside your door.

Yup... the furry little critters are all around these days.

Traditional traps (where the leg is broken) are a major no-no in the metro. I think someone got pinched a while back out by Delano(?) and there was a law suit.

Well, buy a trap that breaks all 4 legs then.  Or, do what Home Simpson did and tie a super powerful snare to get em.  You won't get the rabbit but I think if you set up a camera you'd laugh for days.

If you're intending to raise rabbits for meat contact your Future Famers of America (FFA) organization/chapter. There are state laws against capturing wild animals for domestic use plus raising wild rabbits is problematic. Domestic breeds are much better.

well, my cousin lives in Nevis and his kids raise rabbits, i know they had SO many last year they had to give away a ton ( $200 per month in rabbit food !!! )  if thats close enough to you to justify it, ill get you his info, but if you find someone closer that would make more sense.

I have been trying to shoot them at my parents house, but I don't have night vision for my rifle, and they only seem to come out just after its too dark to shoot safely....






night vision is ok when its pest removal and not hunting..... right????

I'm in Madison but I could be talking into meeting somewhere like Willmar.  We just give ours away.  They come with a guarantee that if they die you get replacements out of the next batch .   How many would you be interested in?

Only down to 1 brown one left.

go to your county fair and look in the livestock buildings, especially where the chickens are,  you should find some people showing rabbits.   Even if the people aren't there you can leave a note with your name and number saying you are interested in buying rabbits.
