I was talking with my grandfather awhile back and he told me that several decades back(He was not sure if it was 50 or 60 years ago) oklahoma had quite a rabbit problem. The okies used dogs and horses to run the rabbits up against a long 2x4 wire fence they had erected and blasted them with shotguns until they were all dead. My grandfather (having missed more than a few meals growing up in the era he did) was more than a little pissed off when he heard about it weeks after it happened.
We use to rabbit hunt here when I was a kid, problem is fire ants just about wiped them out. Now if I see a rabbit and its the right time of year he goes in the pot, but I don't purposefully just hunt them like I do squirrels.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
