Rabbits
The first rabbit I saw was where Mr. J. McKinney’s house now stands. Tim Conroy and I chased it all  over the Pakington block on horseback until we caught it. Rabbits were plentiful in the Karaka at this time so they probably came in that way. I shot eight cock pheasants on our farm on May 1st one year and the several ducks on ponds down the run after lunch. Wekas were plentiful then but we never shot them.They seemed to disappear when we started poisoning for rabbits.
