  1. True,but i'm not talking about postage stamp sized grounds but very large areas,it is interesting to see the different reports on bunnies, i like most people have areas where numbers have crashed though this was mainly due to an unusual bout of mixie last spring which the breeding adults were hit hard in some area's, and other areas are doing worse with suspect VHD and they are noticeable from there complete absence!. I love rabbiting with gun and dog and ferreting and it makes up most of my sport until the main shooting season is over, but along with some friends we proactively protect this
  2. True,Another persons vermin is another persons sport,just like one of the farms that borders the estate i work on,its a mixed livestock/arable 400acre farm and the land owner has asked me and another person not to cull the rabbits this season so theres enough to breed in the spring If you had the concent of the landower(s),wich i would for eg i dont see the problem
  3. No'ooo did'nt write that so read it again,just local populations in certain areas like around me,youre lucky to see 1 rabbit whilst out lamping on the sporting country estate i work on and its not from over shooting etc. And the RELEVENCE is,coney is'nt exactly extinct in France ,just like here were sometimes local populations almost vanish, and in france they are repopulated from stock bred on game farms. Just like on a sporting estate i worked on this summer in Languedoc,they spent the equivelent of a few thousand £'s on restocking rabbits bred from a commercial game farm.
  4. Well rabbits in Croatia got wiped out from over hunting and diesease,but have been re-introduced from Uk stock from Shropshire and Scotland and are now managed as "game".So it can and does work. Same as in France really,Rabbits are classed as game and are bred on large commercial game farms just like pheasants and then realeased on shoots,they are also inoculated againts mxymotosis(sp?),also expect a heavy fine for poaching a bunny in France..

  10. Ive given up chasing females involved in country sports,there are a few down here but are all either rich farmers daughters who tend to go for rich farmers sons or ride with the local hunt and as i dont talk with a plum in my mouth i'm not in their "click". (But saying that a couple have strayed away in the past for my charm )
