In the sixties on way to Nam we stopped at an air base in California to refuel.
As we were taxing to a terminal there were scads of jackrabbits everywhere.
Many had been run over by taxing aircraft and there we bloody remains everywhere. Everywhere you looked they were running as the jet scared them up. And a lot of coyotes were there chasing them or something.
I never saw the like before.
Then in the 90s and later on trips out west I don't remember seeing many if any, in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana where the only thing you saw was wheat and yellow grasshoppers, nor in Tx,AZ or anywhere.
I remember reading Moms 'old school books from the thirties with photos of just dirt roads and lots of game and rabbits.
During the depression and dust bowl days Jack Rabbits kept many families from starving as did eating crows.
I head and heard of plagues or jackrabbits.
What has happened? Have they all bee poisoned? I never read reports of hunting Jack Rabbits. I understand they frequently tasted of sage.
Anyone hunting rabbits out west?
