Squirrel Bunny Hunting UL?

A colleague claims it is possible to hunt rabbits by sitting silently and still in a know rabbit-infested field until the rabbits ignore him and start grazing. When enough rabbits get close to him, he claims he can jump up, yelling loudly and the nearest rabbits will either faint or freeze through shock. Then he can pick them up before they regain their wits and despatch them.

He hasn't tried this, but he claims a friend hunted rabbits in this way when they both lived outside of Manchester. With no first hand account, I'm of the opinion it's not true.

Anyone heard of this Better still, has anyone tried it (successfully or otherwise)?
