I recently rescued a golden retriever from the local high-volume, outdoor breeding facility. She is a relatively well behaved dog. She doesn't have problems with other dogs, cats, squirrels, or birds. The only big problem is with rabbits. We live outside of Covington, in a rather rurul area on 5 acres. It isn't uncommon to have a rabbit in the backyard at night. I try to make sure all is clear before I bring the dog out, but at 1 a.m. PJ is a lot better at spotting rabbits 50 yards off than I am. Luckily I have been able to get her back before she hits the treeline, but I am worried that one night she won't listen.
So, on private property would it be legal to shoot rabbits at night for the purpose of pest control? Also, would it be legal to eat said rabbit which was killed for the purpose of pest control? I was taught not to let good meat go to waste as a child, and it would seem wasteful not to turn a perfectly good rabbit into a tasty meal.
