I know a school ‘district across the river where last season by ac- tual count. 110 rabbits were either shot or snared. Two weeks after the season closed, I took a stroll through a string of swamps that run through the district. It was after a fresh fall of snow. Just one lone rabbit track was observed. A month later a check over the same ground showed that a fair stand of breeding stock had moved into the decimated urea.

O O O O

f thought I knew all the ‘rabbit banks‘ in that section of Queens County but got a pleasant surprise a ‘week ago when I stumbled upon another of those tucked-away swamps. It covered between l5 or 2D acres and was u natural sanct- uary covered with a heavy growth of juniper. swamp birch. alder. spruce and tall swamp grass. I woudn't attempt to hazard a guess as to how many rabbits it contain- ed but the whole area was criss- crossed with a maze of well trod- den trails. This find 1s golng m remain a strict military secret no kiddln’.
