nice write up there mate...
it does make me think especially as down my way if we get any rabbits in a days fereting, then its a good day even if its one or 2... but the further up england you go, we hear of huge amounts of rabbits being caught, that us down in wales could only dream of...
i have often wonderd what the rabbit numbers would of been like if mixi was not layed down by farmers to control numbers, and even now 50 years on mixi is still taking rabbits and thinning numbers out.
you can only IMAGINE the fun we would be having...
