cos if the wind is blowing hard enough towards you, the rabbits don't know you're there. i walked to within 10 feet of one a couple of days ago, a gale blowing in my face. the rabbit couldn't smell me, and it didn't move til i practically trod on it.
unfortunately my dog was on the other side of the field, behind the rabbits, and having one of his selectively deaf moments....
