I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rabbits heading off after november' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'those who catch' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'catch' could be 'nab' (nab can mean to capture or arrest) and 'nab' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
