Essentially zero.Another question....are there any places to hunt feral pigs in Central Oregon?
Well, I guess we usually hunt jackrabbits for sport. Since they are usually so skinny and tough as dried out leather I wouldn't even try to cook/eat one, but the fact remains since they tend to carry disease vectors from all I've heard about them, keeping their numbers in control is a good plan IMO... these diseases transfer easily to other critters like coyotes, domestic dogs and cats, etc... and can end up in humans...No judgement, just a sincere question.....I just am curious what you did with them if you weren't eating them? I do understand population control is an aspect/application of hunting, but I always thought that was mostly when the large population of a species presented a problem in one way or another? Are jack rabbits a problem in their environment for another species or human activity? Or does population control hunting just help mitigate a population crash?
Cottontails are a rather elusive species to hunt. I've spent a lot of time in Central Oregon and had a piece of property in the Sisters area until recently and rabbit numbers in that area are much higher than one would think. They are pretty elusive and hide well in the sagebrush, brush piles, and other areas where there is food and water available.Yeah I have a few resident cottontails in my neighborhood/yard here in Tumalo. But I don't really see them anywhere when I am out hiking/scouting. They seem to be on the smaller side here too. I have seen bigger squirrels than these cottontails in my area....maybe I should be looking at squirrel hunting more than rabbits.
