We cannot keep anough raptors and snakes to keep the bunny population in check. The wife has taken to Havahart traps and snares, but they learn. Seen them sneaking through the snares slowly, so they don't trip. There must be a Watership Down grapevine. The only answer is a .22 (rifle or air rifle), but even then, they seem to reproduce in prodigious numbers.

Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor! For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel, that no man yet has fought with it... and lived! BONES of full fifty men lie *strewn* about its lair! So! Brave knights! If you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth...
Live every day as if it is your last, for one day you’re sure to be right
