Rabbit drives were common during the first part of the twentieth century. On March 10, 1932 one was held at Milford and an observer wrote: “Blooey! and another jack rabbit bit the dust! In fact 1200 rabbits pulled this little trick as some 30 marksmen armed with shotguns blazed away continuously all day in a big rabbit drive. The drive was one of the most successful ever held in the valley. The drive started at the Harwood ranch and covered about a two-mile area. With the termination of the drive, a lunch was served to the hunters by various ladies of the community.

“Smoking gun barrels and black and blue arms were quite apparent throughout the day. Those participating were thoroughly pleased with the results and voted the occasion as most enjoyable form of hunter’s sport.”
