Good year for rabbits

[drummer]

In the U.S. ,I noticed a lack of interst in rabbit hunting west of the Mississippi River.When I was in OK talking to a biologist,he told me that despite a plethora of cottontails,few OK residents hunted them.He marvelled at the alacrity of the southeasterners from TN and Miss that run rabbits with beagles.Most Okies I know seem to regard rabbits as nuisance to their bird hunting.I have a friend in Gonzales, TX that didn't seem to grasp the concept of rabbit as the primary, intended target. I'm a true Kentuckian and I love my rabbit hunting,but I don't like to eat them like I used to.
