Idaho has no limit on crows. Now I know what I can do with them.
But can you imagine the smell if you burned them for heat?:D

Thousands of rabbits, some of them pets abandoned by their owners, are being shot, deep-frozen and burned in a heating plant in Sweden, a professional hunter who works for the city of Stockholm said on Tuesday.
Thousands of rabbits, some of them pets abandoned by their owners, are being shot, deep-frozen and burned in a heating plant in Sweden, a professional hunter who works for the city of Stockholm said on Tuesday.
The center of the Swedish capital is being plagued by thousands of rabbits, some of them wild and some of them stray pets, and 3,000 have been culled this year, down from 6,000 in 2008, Tommy Tuvunger, who hunts rodents for the Stockholm city administration, told SPIEGEL ONLINE.
"We are shooting rabbits in Stockholm center, they are a very big problem," said Tuvunger. The rabbits are eating their way through the city's central parks. "Once culled, the rabbits are frozen and when we have enough; a contractor comes and takes them away. "

How embarrassing for Tommy Tuvunger. Lands dream job - government paid Professional Hunter. Well schooled in the skills of his trade, chisled wind burned features, steely 1000 yard gaze, trusty double rifle by his side, on safari….. to Stockholm to hunt RABBITS!
Images of Elmer Fudd, come to mind. Monty Python’s Holy Grail and Holy Hand Grenades.

Ask any Australian farmer or rancher about rabbits--but only if you can easily deal with profanity.
In 1980, farmers in SW Idaho were building long vee-fences with chicken wire. Hundreds of people would gather and drive jackrabbits into the vee and club them. Way too many to shoot and shoot safely.
A friend and I went out into the sage west of Winnemucca during that population explosion. We set up in one place and in about an hour shot over a hundred. We got bored and left. Coming back a week later, we couldn't tell that we'd made a dent in the population.

Are you kidding? There's a guy like that employed by the Netherlands to keep rabbits at bay around their largest airport. It's on the ocean, and the rabbits tend to destroy the dikes that protect it from being flooded. He hunts all over the world for recreation, but makes his living cruising around his private hunting grounds with a Land Rover, sometimes with his son who has a "real job" but comes along for fun. To hear him describe it, he enjoys it a lot -- and a LOT mroe than a regular day job. Shoots around 150 a day, if I recall.

If you can't easily deal with profanity, you have no business asking an Australian about anything. Just walk away...:D

Netherlands... the rabbits tend to destroy the dikes
And New Orleans thought they had it bad. At least they were destroyed by a manly Act Of God. Imagine living in a country that’s very existence is threatened by the burrowing habits of a small rodent. That must be why the Dutch wear wood shoes. If the rabbits get to out of control, they can still find their foot wear - cuz it floats!
P.S. I'm still kidding.

Australian rabbits?
"In late 1901, private contractors were enlisted to build a barrier against rabbits to stop them invading the State - and so the erection of the world’s longest fence began."
