Hello:
See that old, cut down three with a hole in the middle ? That is an Excellent piece of wood, to make yourself a Rabbit Gum, out of!

I have use hollow trees to make myself a rabbit box, and they will catch More wild Rabbit than any kind of box that you make.. wish I was up there to show you how it's done !

Not that complicated, at all just saw the top and bottom of that log. Nail of screw you a good board onto the log, let the bottom come out past the top. the top log, you use for a Hinge, to place a door. The bottom board you place a piece of Spring Strapping this will be a latch for the door to fall down, and keeps the rabbit inside the hollow log. I like to use a 2x6 piece of Old Lumber for the door. you place a long piece of light wood a broom handle about 15 to 18inches long works well, at the end of that you make a trigger out of wire. Bore a hole inside your log, lay that door down Horizontal on Top stick your wire trigger inside the hold in your hollow log and that will get hit when the rabbit goes inside for Shelter,, I use No Bait, and this past season I caught over 100 wild rabbits. I don't have but a few made out of these Old Hollow logs but they mighty good,, folks see them and Steal my Homemade Rabbit Gums,, that is the Old Time way to catch a rabbit..

Your pen is looking real good, keep us posted,, and like I said send me a P.M. once the Owls start cleaning you out I have a Salutation ??

Add spruce tree to keep it green year round. I planted 1000 in the past 2 year and I still feel I needed to add another 1000. Also built yourself a rabbit breeding pen. I stocked 10 doe and 3 buck in my breeding pen and I saw close to 20 baby rabbits the other day.

Yep, here in Ga. you have to have a Trappers License.

Game warden caught me a few years ago, If I had known they were trying to catch me,, I would have bought myself a Trappers Permit!!~

once you get assigned a Trappers # That number will be with your forever, have to renew it ever year, until you get 65, then it Free as long as you live..
