There has been a huge decline in the rabbit population. I was only talking with a farmer last week on this and they just seemed to have disappeared, one session we were taking 20-25 rabbits per outing on his lands of over 3000 acres but now you would not see 10 Rabbits on this land. And there is plenty of cover and Heavy ditches to hold them without being disturbed. In my 30yrs of hunting I have never seen it this bad, out of 15 spots that I used to ferret none are holding good numbers
of rabbits.
