When we were raising beef and owned our own farm I kept a patch of alfalfa going and provided cover for cottontails.....and kept a pack of beagles. We also had about 30 acres of timber, backed up to....maybe 100 acres of a couple neighbors timber lots. Between rabbits and squirrel I'd hate to have had to choose back then. Now that choice has been made for me. In these rocky, Ozark hills I now own there's maybe 2 bunnies....and 5,000 squirrels right now. Just breaks my heart.
