	Nebraska Game and Parks Commission - Wildlife Species Guide - Cottontail Rabbit
		Habitat that is capable of supporting cottontails is decreasing throughout the rabbit's range, as a result of aging and deteriorating shelterbelts, the removal of hedge rows, the farming of roadsides, and the over grazing of pastures, streambanks and lakeshores.
		If the hunter encounters a warble in a rabbit or finds an abscess under the skin where a warble has recently left the rabbit, he can remove that area of the meat and still use the rest of the carcass, provided the meat is cooked properly.
		Rabbits die from the disease, so it is not a problem once there has been a good hard frost and the temperature remains cool.
