Artist’s impression of the Bill Wallace technique of rabbit trapping, as used at Sherwood Downs in the early 19205. At “false dawn” the rabbits left their warrens at the top of the picture to visit their feeding grounds at the bottom. By the time they returned in the evening, the fence was in their way. The rabbits ran along the fence into the holding pen, and the rabbiters closed the netting behind them.
