Our dogs Daisy and Lizzy were fearless rabbit hunters in their prime. They would charge out our back door and up the hill to the big spruce tree at the top where the rabbits would hide. As they approached the tree, they would split up and circle around the tree. Seconds later, the terrified rabbits would fly out between the fence slats and white bunny tails could be seen retreating across the field. Since losing her hunting partner, Lizzy has been lackadaisical in her bunny hunting efforts to the point where she lay in the grass watching two bunnies frolic in front of her. I predict a population explosion in our yard!
