| Summary: | garden We used to have two methods for catching rabbits in the winter; one we called a garden, the other a fence. / In an area where there was plenty of sign but no indication of a particular directional movement, we would set a garden. This was a circular area fenced off with boughs and small trees. Inside the garden we would place browse. . . . in order for the rabbits to get the browse they had to go through one of several openings in the fence in which we had placed snares. This garden was only about ten or twelve feet in diameter but was the real thing for catching rabbits. G. M. Story FEB 1973 JH FEB 1973 DNE-cit Used I and Sup Used I 3 Used I |
