   • 1955, Wisconsin conservation bulletin, Volume 20, page 36:

     We have already seen how forest rabbitat management improves the forest stand and helps other forest game species.

   • 1978, Anthony J. Acerrano, The practical hunter's handbook, page 15:

     This may necessitate canvas-shelled britches and a long-sleeved hunting jacket, since thorns, needles, and burrs are part of rabbitat.

     Whatever special combination rabbitat is, the Prairie Home Area's small fields, weedy field borders, brush piles and cover plantings fit the bill pretty well.
