rabbit hunting
Chasing cottontails outdoors
Rabbit hunting is the pursuit and killing of rabbits for sport, food, or pest control.
Methods include dogs, ferrets, traps, and firearms.
The activity ranges from casual small-game hunting to organized field sports: We went rabbit hunting with beagles on Saturday.
In rural areas, rabbit hunting often serves practical purposes—protecting crops or supplementing the table.
