How to attract rabbits in Nevada desert ?

 

[oldcars]

Hide in the bushes and make a noise like a carrot ?

I have always had to walk to find any. Best early morning and/or evening. They are opportunistic feeders and don't like exposing themselves to predators.

You can come'n have mine!

Rabbit tried digging under back gate night before last. Wife told me about the hole she'd seen unnerit (I'd been noticing prior signs; she likes to feed the birds...) so I took a spade to cut in a piece of hardware cloth in the ground between the gateposts.

Forgot cable company'd routed their line between those gates soon after we'd moved in....

Wondering now what the reconnection service call later today will cost me.

(I hate wabbits...)

Drive down a Nevada highway until you find a stretch where there is at least one dead rabbit per .1 mile. At that point you have found them and don't need to attract them. jd

Well, the camera was a Minolta SRT-102 35mm, SLR, delayed shutter release. Charley wasn't actually pointing his revolver at anybody. Charley has been dead for at least ten years. Sue, the dog, has been dead for at least thirty years.

Quinton, the guy with the Weyerhaeuser hat, retired about three years ago.

The guy on the left has become a handsome, witty, and well loved philosopher. jd

Hay Bales and wintertime snow in Northern Nevada!! From NV Rancher Magazine. I've seen them like this a few times. Not now...rabbits are way down in my area of Northern Nevada.

drive slow in the desert areas, where sage, feed and water are, look for tracks, then make slow walk abouts and jump them, if they are in the area. Kind of a search and destroy venture.

Thick like that near Atomic City Idaho in summer 1981 or ?? Pancake on the road every 100 yards. Unbelievable on Salt Lake City tv but amazing in person. Rode thru there on a BMW 79 R-100.

I'm the one with a handgun on the left, -- and I'm not dead.

My pard with the handgun pointing at the camera, is Charley, and he died a little shy of seventy from a whole lot of hard livin. We used to joke that he was put on earth to provide a bad example for other peoples kids. He was almost 20 years older than me, but NEVER a father figure. More like a criminal older brother who would get you both in trouble. He had a brilliant mind, with absolutely no focus. I could sit and tell stories about him for hours, or maybe days.

I've seen him make one handed shots on rabbits on the run, and not be able to hit one when it sat still. jd

I've still got the one I was holding. It's a old sixties version Single Six. Fixed sight convertible. Charleys was a similar, only 4" instead of six. He bought it from my brother in law, and I don't know what happened to it. We used to pack those Rugers EVERYWHERE, and were pretty deadly with them.

That pic was taken in extreme northern Nevada, close to where the borders of Oregon, Nevada, and California meet. jd
