Picked up a dead bunny (dog bite?) from my back yard last evening. Had these weird growths on it. (Right shoulder) Anybody seen things like this before?   |

Are you joking? Those are ticks. Big, fat blood engorged ticks!

Well, (A) it's a rabbit. (B) I have yet to see ticks like that on any animal. Maybe it's because I've only hunted Hares/Jackrabbits in Wyoming and not Cottontails in Indiana.
Ticks like that are new to me.

Yep, dog ticks.  Can't say as I've seen them on rabbits, but then again, I don't see many rabbits up close and personal at this time of year either. ;D They aren't your "normal" deer ticks like you will normally find crawling on your body after a trip in the woods.... |

Just so you know, rabbits are neither varmints, or furbearers in Indiana. I know some states out west classify the as such. |
