What about the rabbits? Where did all the rabbits go?

Ever notice all the rabbits inside the city limits during the summer?
My brotherlives in a small town . Everyone there only has a small yard.Every year he plants a garden and hasproblems with rabbits. One day I was at his place and saw 5 all at the same time in his yard. I know that in most places in PA you can see this many rabbits,in the summer, in peoples yards. The problem is, that these areas are inside city limits and you can not hunt there. The same thing goes on at a co workers place. He has rabbit problems in his garden inside city limits.

I have an idea to bring back the rabbit population in state game lands and coop farms. Why doesn't the PGC make an appearence at the next Cub Scout, Boy Scout or sportsmans clubsmeetings. Local deputies or Commissioners could make an appearence at these meetings with blue prints to build live traps for catching rabbits [and reveal my plan]. The Scouts or club members could then make these traps and set them in urban areas. They could even have a phone number for people to call that are having problems with rabbits that are getting in their gardens and such. The scouts can set the traps and have the deputies come get the rabbits. [maybe PGC orsome college would be interested in putting ear tags in a few of these rabbits to keep tabs on them much like they do with duck's leg bands. Maybe some future biologists could cut get their start on this rabbit project] They could then release these rabbits on state game lands or coop farms that have suitable rabbit habitat. Now in the fall they can see how many of these rabbits are taken by the amount of ear tags that are turned in.( offer some kind of insentive) This is pretty much the same thing that they did to get turkeys established. Some people may not like the idea of trapping rabbits in the summer when they have young in the nest. So maybe they could trap them earlier in the spring. Anyway, I think the idea would work. Why can't the PGC come up with something like this? I'm sure this idea could be tweeked in a way to make it affordable. The Scouts or even sportsmans clubs would be paying for the cost of the traps. They could even drop the rabbits off at a designated spot,to be tagged,to save the PGC the cost of gasoline.



So, who's arm do I got to twist, in the PGC, to start something like this?
