IDAHO. 



A few large hunts have recently occurred in southern Idaho, but 

 greater success has attended the introduction of the rabbit drive. A 

 novel method is sometimes employed in Fremont County, the rabbits 

 being baited by spreading a line of hay on the snow or on tlie ground, 

 and after they are 'lined up' several can be killed at a single shot. 



Mr. T. T. Kutledge, assistant director of the experiment station at 

 Nampa, Canyon County, reports that a small hunt took place about 

 September 1894, near that place, but the number killed is unknown. 

 In the winter of 1894-9.J about 2,G00 Jack rabbits were killed near Idaho 

 Falls, Bingham County, and shipjted to Eustice, Nebr., along with grain 

 and provisions for distribution among the drought sufferers in that 

 State. Another smaller hunt also occurred at Idaho Falls later on. 



While these pages are i)assing through the piess, reports have been 

 received indicating that rabbit driving is being successfully carried 

 on in the .southern part of the State. At Marion, Cassia County, about 

 r),()()0 rabbits were killed in a drive on December 0, 1895. It was esti- 

 mated that 500 people were present and that an area of country less 

 than 3 miles square was driven over; 4,000 more rabbits were killed at 

 the same i)la(e during the following week. 



Farther east two smaller drives were held at Market Lake, Fremont 

 County. In this case no corrals were built, the rabbits being simply 

 driven into the railroad stock yards and afterwards shii)ped to Salt 

 Lake City for distribution among the poor. The following list has been 

 broughr down to date as far as i)0ssible and includes five drives which 

 occurred early in .lanuary, 189<»:
