Get a few people to help you drive it out. Each person should have 5-6' "arm extenders" in the form of sticks or plastic pipe that can be waved around. Open your gate and drive the rabbit out. It helps if the gate is near a corner. Last year we used the waving arms method to drive out a small bunny with just my husband and me, both vintage gardeners. The same bunny came back at least 8 times and got quite used to the routine. Eventually it grew big enough that it couldn't squeeze through the 2"x4" mesh to return. When I was much younger I chased a trespassing bunny until it was tired, got it cornered, and grabbed it, giving it a toss over the fence. Not doing that again at age 70+.
