Charges are being sought against a Mecosta County man who was found to have over 150 dead cottontail rabbits in the bed of his truck and at his home by conservation officers.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources say that they became aware of the incident in late-February after two conservation officers received complaints stating a man had been bragging about shooting and stashing over 100 rabbits in his truck.

In Michigan, cottontail and snowshoe rabbits can be hunted from September 15th to March 31st as part of small game season, but hunters have a daily limit of five and have a possession limit of 10.

The DNR said they are now pursuing charges against the man for over-possession of rabbit.
