That is a big wow.  I wonder how the populations rose to such a level?  Were some predators removed from the area that would ordinarily keep the jack rabbit population in check?

I'm sure people shot the Coyotes, cats, etc... plus Big farms popped up.. so more food... less predator's.. = Rabbit Boom!  lol
