Rabbits are becoming pretty thin in east tn.I don't know about the rest of tn but where i live i am doing good to get 1 or 2.Now last year me and my dad went to KY outside of lexington on my uncles farm and killed 13 before 10am and missed i bunch.I have never seen the likes of rabbits,and never had so much fun either.We did all this with no dogs too.

cecil, my Dad and his friends are pretty serious about it. It has went from a good trip being 20-30 rabbits to a good trip being 5-10 rabbits. Pretty pitiful.

IMO it is a combination of lots coyotes around but mainly it i habitat loss. Nobody wants their place to "grow up" anymore and that leaves the rabbits zero cover. Hawks get alot also, sure wish we could shoot alot of those out.

Cats, Coons, and Coyotes.
All Fair game for Eradication.
These are the the top predators. Not to mention the Urban development.
