Title: Contract hunters - BI Rabbits
Post by: aieahound on November 12, 2020, 06:29:19 AM
Reading the paper this morning.
Apparently the BI is getting concerned about established populations of feral rabbits in Kona and Waimea.
3 or 4 groups identified.
They’re gonna use a grant to hire contract hunters.

I was thinking just call some of the boys from here and point ‘em in the direction.
Problem solved for free.

Perfect use for my 17hmr.

I'd pay money to do that.  Like prairie dogs.

BTW, you have to actually be able to HIT them in order to "help". . .

hehehehehe

I keed, I keed.

Prairie dogs is one hunt that I've always wanted to try.  A few buddies in MT have some super elaborate rigs.  It's basically a pivoting shooting bench where they roll out to the field and then sit there and shoot them "dawgs" all day.   

Predator and pest control is a hunt I'd be down to try.  Pigs in TX, nutria in TX and LA (I think), coyotes in a buddies farms in MT, etc.

There is a strain infecting mink, so I'd say yes.

At least I could scare the crap out of ‘em.  :D
I’ll probably need to bring Rocky though to feel good about myself.
“Yeah, you got ‘em”

can rabbits catch Covid?

Not after they’re dead.

You believe they’re gonna pay guys for this ?
Set up your rig, drink ice tea and pop ‘em.
I want that job.

Why does the title of your post make it sound like you are hunting “BI Rabbits”? Why do you care if they prefer rabbits of the same sex?  :rofl:

Honestly Hound, I really thought you were not homophobic and non-judgemental. But now we all know the truth! But obviously some bunny in your past must have scorned you or cheated on you. Which we can all only lead to one conclusion, you are a BUNNY HUMPER!  :o

I had him pegged as more of a Panty Hamster than a Bunny Humper, but that works too. . .  :rofl:

There's a chance they will contract it out. 
But the state has its list of " preferred vendors" they always use.
They just get 3 quotes to follow protocol

Why is it ok to pursue a grant to deal with feral rabbits but not feral cats?

Btw...I don't hate cats.  Just wondering...  The rabbits probably taste better.  Too bad they don't do something with the meat after these eradications.

there's a lot more support for feral cats than rabbits.
In my neighborhood I read that one of the feral cat feeders created a false flag event after I complained about her placing piles of cat food on our private landscaping. She apparently said one of her feral cats was "lynched" but only showed a mound of dirt when she buried it.
These feral cat feeders have lobbying efforts as well.

I feel the same way about Millennials who are allowed to wonder around unsupervised.

The BI has an non profit organization called AdvoCATS that tries and deals with the feral cat problem. Mostly through capture, spay/neuter and release. They notch one of the ears so they know if they have been fixed or not. My wife and I help them through fundraising and personal donations. Then my wife volunteered at a no kill shelter called Rainbow Friends and also volunteered to do something called a Neuter Scooter where they round up abandoned dogs and cats and neuter them then try to adopt them out.

“ who can cook da dead cat.
Cook ‘em in some dough.
Buggah is fresh just got ‘em off da road
Manapua Man can...”

I don’t know why I could shoot a rabbit, but would have a hard time shooting a cat.
I’d pop a chicken though.
