[On the drum again 32]

no work today so thought i would go have hour out with the lurcher and ferret not much about this way as mixie went through last month. but managed to bolt a few to the lurcher out of a stone wall after a couple of failed atemps he managed to pick one up,cover is still very thick around the walls so the runs were very short and tricky but good fun atb shane

chears mate mixy is a horrible thing, hits this place every year but for some reason only the mountain side of the road the other side never holds that many rabbits but aint seen mixy there for a good few years.

I've got a funny feeling 2 of my best farms have been hit with mixy .. going to a third one tomorrow (with the air rifles for pigeons tho) hopefully that one hasnt been hit but it seems to be the most common.. If so i've got one more chance on a 4th farm.. and the 5th farm has nothing on it the farmer just likes the company

 

Reading a few other posts it seems that mixy has hit hard this year

 

least you got out mate

As i understand it its carried by fleas and mosquitos. I guess the fleas stay in the buries and when the rabbits stop living out at the end of the summer and use the buries more they get infected, same deal with mozzies, bite an infected rabbit and pass it on. It seems like human colds, sometimes you're snotty for a couple days then its gone other times it puts you in bed for a week! Some years the rabbits get a mild version, a few with swollen eyes about etc and other years, like this year, with corpses scattered all over. I reckon its the worst this year i've seen for a long time.

Oi oi matey, good to see you again, from what i can see, the dog looks like it can do it's job, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. What's it like around stinkers? And how does it like the mad terrier? We should have a day and do a bit of bushing sometime when my fecking whippet has healed . . . . AGAIN!
