there are lots of live traps out there that you can buy. i wouldn't get fancy, just pick one up from a local store (Gander Mtn. if theres one by you is good). then set it out where the rabbits stop to eat or by their den. put some carrots, lettuce, or other bait in it and your ready to go. i've caught tons of squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits using the simpilest of traps.

good luck.

Like live2hunt said livetraps work well, but another thing I have found that works well is to use 220 conibear traps on their main trails running through the trees or on the entrences to their dens...you might have to check your laws on that one I am not sure if its legal where your from.

It flies it dies,

hunting season flies by fast but the memories last forever

well were do you live, i am sure that you have bunny hunters in the area, i know i love to bunny hunt but am running out of spaces, once your dog(s) get used to an area, they tend to skip the good stuff because they have had rabbit smells some where else
