I try not to dwell on the negative, but since I like to chase the birds and bunnies,I can't help it.
Driving south from Texarkana, I saw a lot of clean fencerows,and I haven't found a rabbit yet that can can thrive in a clean fencerow.

Yep. They clean them off, and now the highway department drives up and down the roads in the "wilderness areas" spraying chemicals to kill out any grass or foliage that "might" cause a problem later. Of course this causes us to have massive grass fires on the sides of the road every summer, but the state believes that to be an unrelated matter. IE we have a few idiots in the house and senate making these decisions when Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas A&M, UT, Baylor, and any number of other sources are telling them it is the wrong thing to do.

Anyway off of my soapbox. . . .. or I would be if we could get some people with common sense to make the decisions in this state.

For what it's worth I agree.Legislature and (gulp) courts should not be involved with wildlife issues, because they invariably screw up.Leave it to those of us who know what we're doing (well, most of the time.)

Wildlife Managment - yet another Oxymoron

Western SD has tons of rabbits this year and they must be at the peak. Jacks have been high the last two years and now the cottontails are all over. Like was said before these little buggers are driving my dogs nuts coming up to the kennels ect.
Very little if any hunting on these and fox numbers down to 0 yet.

Landowners west of the Miss. River might be surprised at the business they would get from easterners that love to rabbit hunt.If I owned a big chunk of property out west, I would advertise heavily in the southeastern U.S. the phenomenal rabbit hunting to be had.I'm serious.
