Eddy,
Build cover, lay out salt blocks, and get rid of predators. If it is in an area you can't shoot then trap the cats.

You can use my traps anytime.

Build yourself 4 - 5 Pyramid Traps.Nothing I've ever tried will catch rabbits like a Pyramid.Catches them year around.Use Apple and a few drops of vanillia.

I caught four last week in the same trap in the same spot in my yard to play with some wee pups.Two old big ones,one with a split ear and two 1/2 - 2/3's grown types.I have great cover on my farm and lots of rabbits so trapping is easier.But on the farm I had before this one in NC rabbits were thin.But I managed to catch em with the Pyramids when the box trap guys gave up.My brother in central NC was trying to trap some with box traps aka no luck.I gave him one of my pyramids when I was back in NC on a visit.He started catching rabbits.He made some more and made kindling out of his box traps.

The Pyramids will out perform box traps by leaps and bounds year around in all types of conditions and population levels.Send me your email address and I'll send you some info to build some.

Fastone, here is a link from a year ago. There are pictures and I think the link to a guy that builds them. Everyone put in the bait they use so there is a lot of information

Hunt6 I ve got a old friend of my and the only thing he used is a pyramid.He too cannot catch one in a rabbit box.He ask me one time have I ever catch a rabbit in a rabbit box in the summer I said no.Don t have too.Why? I can catch all the rabbits I want in a rabbit box in the fall and winter.Don t need them in the spring and summer.Would not have a pyramid trap if the man gave it to me.Too hard to make.I am not saying they will not work but around here the rabbits boxes sometime will walk off and if I had all that time in them pyramid I would get real upset.Like I said it took me 7 years to learnd how.Show me a rabbit track and I will show you a rabbit within two nights.I have catch two rabbits in the same box in one night About 15 years ago there was a man that had 700 boxes set and I could almost catch as many as he could and I had 35 boxes.But now I relize that I can catch just as many with 20 boxes.But this is me and maybe I am luckey.But there one thing I can do and thats catch rabbits.

To each their own rabbitearl.I used the boxes for years and caught a lot of rabbits in cold weather. When I made and used my first pyramid I gave the boxes away.

You also missed the point.These guys need rabbits caught when your traps will not catch them :-) As to building a pyramid trap they are no problem what ever.Not rocket science.

Boys do what ever trips your trigger.But if you want to catch more rabbits year around build - buy the pyramids.

Checked on the shipping to Ohio and it would cost more than the trap, so I hope you find something you can use.

It would cost over $40 dollars just for the shipping, now if you shipped a bunch then it got a little cheaper per trap. You would be better off finding someone closer if possible.

Yall watch out on that year round thing.You cannot trap rabbits when rabbit season is out here in NC.That another reason box trapping is better.Catch them hard and fast this fall and winter and stock your place and be done.But yalls state mybe different.But here in NC that a no no.Up to about 6 years ago you could not put a live rabbit in your truck.You had to go and let the rabbit out or kill it.Hunt6 you first said you gave up on box traps and then said you catch lots of rabbit in them in the winter.What do you call lot of rabbits.Why would anybody give up on boxes when they can catch lots of rabbits.Now I been trapping rabbits for 37 years and have seen the box trap is better.I ve seen all kinds of rabbit boxes even the stand up rabbit box. But thes boxes that i ve got are easy to make.You say the pyramid are easy to make.I can make a rabbit box in 8 min.You say the pyramid can out do the rabbit boxes anytime.In the last 10 years I catch over 3 thousand rabbit in my box trap.How about you.How many in the last ten years.And that in just 3 mo out of a year.I donot have to trap year round.And you said it your self rabbits are thin here in NC,Now I not going to put down them pyramid traps like you done on box traps.They will catch one when you donot know how with that rabbit box.But I know alot will agree with you.But once you ever know how with that box and the secret that I know.I will tell yall some.Donot used bait in a rabbit box.A rabbit does not go in there to eat he looking for protection.Donot set the box in the woods.Put it out in the open.Used old wood.And fishing line to tie ever thing together.And most of all small hold were the rabbit goes in. Yall have a nice day.
