Basically a hole dug in the ground beneath the fenceline with a wooden box
dropped in the hole about 2foot deep. On top of this is a wooden
'treadplate' pivoted so that when brer rabbit comes along his weight tips
the plate, he falls into the box and the counterbalance tips the plate back
into set position. Too deep for rabbit to jump out of and is stopped by the
wooden plate anyway.
That'd need constant monitoring wouldn't it? Any links to a site that
has pics? 

Thanks

have you
thought about installing some permanent drop boxes in the fencelines as
these have the triple benefits of producing prime rabbits, being very
efficient and are exceedingly cheap to make. With a few of these in the
right locations you should't have a rabbit problem. 





Never even heard of them, what are they? (sound good)
