Not with any kind of dog, been a long time since any pheasant and bird dog hunting around here, same with rabbits.
I used to around this time of year, walk and root them out, using a shotgun, light load of which I cannot recall its been so long, also used a .22, friend uses a .410 or I believe so from casings I have found. 2 friends use to come over when there was snow cover and do the same, always a game bag full after, and I would usually hear, "the place is infested with them!"
Coyotes are around, sometimes quite a bit, other times it appears they are not here, really hard to say what goes on after dark out there. The rabbit population is thick here, just like the cover from overgrown fields, brush piles and similar habitat whereas vines collapse in a net like fashion, making all kinds of suitable habitat. All you have to do hear is walk around, disturb any of those piles, or thicket, always a rabbit in there. I have a few near the house that hide under the pines, I left all the branches on and to the ground, perfect cover for them, then snowblow areas on the lawn for access to and around the house, exposing grass and clover underneath, they're out every night on it. Deer too ! We have an abundance of owls, hawks of several species, abundant vole population and those darned white footed or deer mice, the menu is loaded for the predators here, even with fox around rabbits have always been thick around here since as long as I can remember.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
