Rabbits reproducing like rabbits up here around Beouf WMA!

Started seeing one or two about two years ago. The last six months have been seeing multiple rabbits right before sundown. This week saw a few during the day, and one was a cottontail. I have a lot on Lake Lafourche in Hebert (HeeBurt not Abear) close to Beouf (Bef not Buff) River......wink...grin. I'm joking about the pronunciation. Call it how you want, just call me, too!
And to clarify, I stated lot, not camp. Did not want to mislead anyone, as truth stretching is frowned upon here. Hell, I don't even have a bathroom. A good dancing girl won't visit if you don't have a shitter.

I’ve slowly found more and more when woodcock hunting NELA.
I think the rabbit hunters that decimated the populations in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s are dying and the rabbits are returning. (Source: my beagle owning uncle died last year)

And ducks can't walk straight and toasters are scary to add to that word salad

Thanks for the North of I-10 translation. I guess Lafourche is pronounced the same in either part.....

Rabbit populations are cyclical.I’ll have rabbits all around my house out here in the country for awhile.They’ll disappear for a couple years then gradually build back up.
The coyotes,bobcats and horned owls all love to eat rabbits.

Yes very cyclical depending on cover, food, and predator population.

Yes sir on the Lake La Foosh. I worked in the Gulf for twenty-five years and still get tickled at south of ten on the words ending with th, the h is silent, as in Fort of July. When they found out I was from Columbia, they raised their eyebrows and stated, "Oh. The MaKeetin connection!" Referring to former Governor John J. McKeithen.
I think I just hijacked my only thread, so here goes - Everyone knows deer won't look up. Squirrell hunters won't look down.

I’d blame predators more so than over hunting.
Everything in the woods eats rabbits. Coyotes, bobcats, hawks, eagles, minks, owls……. The population of all of these animals are on the rise.
On the other hand, our rabbits have been making a comeback since Ida trashed our woods 4 years ago.

Well Homer I had lived in Hebert for 40 plus years and it takes a good while for all the critters to make a good comeback after some high waters

I don’t disagree entirely, but I know over a hand full of people who gave up rabbit hunting and got rid of packs of beagles. Also the rabbit dog generation has aged out. I can’t help but believe that drastic down turn in hunting hasn’t impacted populations.

Bro. We didn't do squat to the population of rabbits. That was the return of raptors and predators and explosion of feral cats.

1. Why were there no predators in 60’s-90’s?just way more trapping occurring? How does that explain avian predators?
2. Maybe my old man and uncles are telling fishing stories, but the way they describe it, they had to have had some kind of impact on populations.

There were way less predators. Including raptors. Rabbits breed like cockroaches. Humans might wear out a spot but they'll be back in there next year.
