Yesterday we heard several gun shots south of our cabin property. At least, we hope it was south of our property. We walk along the southern boundary and would not appreciate a hunter on federal land thinking we were game.
I thought that maybe the shooter was hunting rabbits. Actually hares. The snowshoe hares (with summer brown coats and some still with white paws) are all over. They were almost gone for several years and have rebounded so much that we see at least one in our yard every time we walk outside.
When I heard several gunshots, I thought of Elmer Fudd: “Kill de wabbit! Kill de wabbit!”
It must have been Elmer Fudd. He thinks it’s open season on rabbits all the time. Fudd should pick a different state. The best I can determine from dnr.state.mn.us is that rabbit and hare season is November to February. The only exception is that an owner or a tenant can kill nuisance rabbits at any time. Must be Elmer Fudd. He considers rabbits nuisances wherever he finds them.
