How to Trap a Jack Rabbit?

Trapping a jack rabbit involves using bait and a humane trap to safely capture and relocate the animal.

Setting Up the Trap

Here’s how to effectively trap a jack rabbit using bait and a suitable trap:

1. Select the Right Bait:

   • According to the reference, carrots and apples make good bait for rabbits.

2. Prepare the Bait:

   • Cut the bait into small pieces. This makes it easier for the rabbit to follow the trail into the trap.

3. Create a Bait Trail:

   • Create a trail leading into the trap, making sure the bait is visible to the animal. This encourages the jack rabbit to enter the trap in search of more food.

4. Choose the Right Trap:

   • Use a humane trap that won't harm the rabbit. Look for traps specifically designed for rabbits or similar-sized animals.

5. Placement:

   • Position the trap in an area where you've seen the jack rabbit frequenting, such as near its burrow or along its feeding path.

After Trapping

1. Relocation:
   • After the rabbit is trapped, relocate the animal a significant distance away. This ensures it won't return to your property.
