Title A name given to the resource Fresno jackrabbit harvest 1893 California Subject The topic of the resource Jackrabbits -- California -- Fresno County -- Photographs; Pest Control -- California -- Fresno County -- Photographs.; Rabbit hunting -- California -- Fresno County -- Photographs; Fresno (Calif.) -- Social life and customs -- 19th century -- Photographs. Description An account of the resource Jackrabbits often ravaged orchards and vineyards. Fresno settlers soon saw their profits decreasing and organized a campaign to deal with the problem. This photo shows a method borrowed from the Indians. A fence is created in the shape of a V. The wings of this V would extend about 2 miles. Citizens would line up far above the open end of the V and drive the rabbits. The rabbits would run into the V and when they got into the bottle neck they were corralled and beaten with clubs. Firearms were not allowed because of the safety of the people. Between 1888 and 1897 there were 217 public drives alone in California accounting for approximately 500,000 dead rabbits.
