At the great rate those critters multiply - you could probably harvest enough rabbits to feed all the homeless people in Study Butte and Alpine. Help the homeless people - instead of fattening up the coyotes.

Never have seen a bear on the Terlingua Ranch! But I have seen a very large cougar! Ben is equipped to protect himself - with those horns - but your growing population of javelinas and rabbits - might start disappearing. I suppose cougars would also take down burros quite easily.
I had 21 squirrels stop by for breakfast this morning. Word has gotten out that I'm an easy touch for sunflower seeds.

ReplyDeleteNice to see so many bunnies, what a crop of critters
