MEMPHIS, Mich. (WXYZ) — Animal welfare advocates say a hunting event set for Saturday, called "Rabbit Round-Up," is nothing more than a wildlife "killing contest" and not an appropriate fundraiser to raise money for public school athletics.

We used to ride around at night in Ozona, shoot hundreds of jackrabbits with .22’s.

"There are many more appropriate fundraisers that could be done for a school," said Kelley LaBonty, Director of the Detroit Animal Welfare Group (DAWG). "Glorifying violence in our school, when there's already so much violence in our schools, is inappropriate and it sends the message to our kids that killing is fun." Well, DUH!! Eating them is fun too.
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

As a young guy we used to travel to the San Luis Valley in Colorado for rabbit drives, usually 2-3 a month. Almost always sponsored by school kids to fund this or another thing or the JC's or Rotary, Elk what ever organization.
San Luis, Fort Garland, Blanca.
I remember seeing hay stacks eaten by the jacks until they fell over. When I first started going you got one shotgun shell for every rabbit you threw in the many pickups driving behind the shooters.
Fun days

Bunny huggers envision this Now that is an awesome picture. All jacks, I take it, probably in Texas or one of the prairie states. Never tried to eat a jack--not hungry enough I guess.

The city folks get the picture a little better if they are told that they are large rats with big ears.
Be not weary in well doing.

MyDad Nd brother used to talk about the “rabbit round-ups” they had here in Nebraska in the 30’s. You could only use a shot gun and no slugs were allowed. There was an eatery fee of .50 cents a gun and the highest shooters got some cash award. Game wardens walked with the shooters to make sure no game animals were killed. One idiot shot a yellowhammer flicker and carried it out with him. Game warden wanted a $5.00 fine and he didn’t have that much so the warden hauled him off to jail.

In New Zealand rabbits are a non-native invasive species with no natural predators. The breed like- - -well- - - -rabbits! A friend of mine who lives there participates in culls done at night on 4-wheelers with spotlights and suppressed .22 rimfires. About 150-200 kills a night is about average for each shooter, and they just barely keep the population under control that way. Australian opossums are hunted the same way there, with similar results.

Mom told me they had rabbit drives around Beaver, OK in the late '30's - due to them eating all of the graze. Overpopulated.
There were so many, that clubs were used somewhat effectively.
