Shooting rabbits is public service! You can shoot dozens out of a south Canterbury field and it makes no difference They are like locusts
Maybe full auto is required for rabbit control in New Zealand.. Or maybe release a few coyotes.. They'll be fine, right? Battle one non-native animal with another?
I recall the Easter Bunny Hunt - when father’s would take their kids out on Easter to shoot rabbits. I thought it one of the oddest “traditions” when I lived in NZ in the 90s.
He had almost as many as a fetus but he decided to be born poor. Go out and make yourself a couple billions so you can get yourself into college and buy a fee politicians to get you some rights!!! Loser!!!!
That's New Jersey. Don't you remember that trade? NYC gets Jersey City, and New Jersey gets Queens and an island to be named later. Most people did NOT expect that island to be Riker's.
True there. The first 10 answers from Google are paid for sponsored answers. Then you'll be inundated with unwanted ads.
Ha! That was huge before the virus! My parents went on it many a time. I never went on the official hunt but having been spotlighting and stalking down in Central Otago Spotlighting in the truck you can easily shoot 100 rabbits in a night. It only really touches the sides though. Within a month they are back same as before.
That is how we got in this mess! The farmers did release the calicivirus though New Zealand In July 1997, after considering over 800 public submissions, the New Zealand Ministry of Health decided not to allow RHDV to be imported into New Zealand to control rabbit populations. This was backed up in an early August review of the decision by the Director-General of Agriculture. However, in late August it was confirmed that RHDV had been deliberately and illegally introduced to the Cromwell area of the South Island. An unsuccessful attempt was made by New Zealand officials to control the spread of the disease. It was, however, being intentionally spread, and several farmers (notably in the Mackenzie Basin area) admitted to processing rabbits that had died from the disease in kitchen blenders for further spreading. Had the disease been introduced at a better time, there would have been a more effective control of the population. However, it was released after breeding had commenced for the season, and rabbits under 2 weeks old at the time of the introduction were resistant to the disease. These young rabbits were therefore able to survive and breed rabbit numbers back up. Ten years on, rabbit populations (in the Mackenzie Basin in particular) are beginning to reach near pre-plague proportions once again though they have not yet returned to pre RCD levels.[11][12]
I was amazed at how many rabbits I saw last month from a bus on the Otago Peninsula. They were simply everywhere.
Butter and sugar only, if it's just grits. If the grits are a base for something else, it depends. But not cheese, usually. Other people do that better than me. When your palate gets cultured enough for pecan pie, lemme know
