Got 13 yesterday heres a few pics of some.... some of the rabbits had yellow feet the guys said they never seen anything like it before anyone else seen this before?

I never seent hat either thats new

I'd say grass stain !!

maybe its a nc thing

I see that all the time. Its either from grass stain or from them peeing on there selves.

I see'em like that round here all the time...... So maybe it is a NC thing

think it is where there pee then step in it.

I hope to be running a few Eastern yellow footed rabbits soon ! Our scouts have reported a good population in some of the areas we hunt. One more day of deer season here.

you know how a deer will pee on its glands maybe thats what it is some kind of breeding or rutting thing

Maybe it was some sort of breeding or rutting thing we was jumping them 2 at a time on some occasions

Any sulfur springs or yellow clay near the area that you were hunting? My grandfather's land has a coal seam really close the the surface that has a sulfur content so high the coal cannot be mined. There are a couple of natural springs on the property that come off the coal seam and the sulfur leaches into the water. Everything that water touches for long has a yellowish tint. All the animals that waded in or near the springs had yellow feet.

Just thinking

I dont know what causes it but I see it all of the time in South Carolina.

i've noticed it on the rabbits i killed also. i believe it is pee stain from rutting from all the mild weather and along with extreme drought we have had this fall.

I have killed some like that before here in Kentucky.

I AGREE PROLLY GRASS....SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IVE EVER KILLED HERE IN WV HAS YELLOW FEET LIKE THAT
