Well if YOU'VE never seen a tic... the excellent picture posted by Paulus must have been photoshopped!!! Because anything YOU haven't seen couldn't possibly be true!!!! now could it! You speak like a real HUNTER...as if YOU know everything & anything that is a little out of the norm, BLOWS you're TINY feckin' mind...Get a grip...You DON'T & Will NEVER know it all...even though you think you do!! As for me getting out more....I wish I could but there are only so many hours in a day....(by the way that comment was Ironic) not that I expect you to know why...Oh by the way...your posts 4.82 A DAY!!!! mine 0.07 a day...

miroku moocher 140 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 good pic paulus. but as mentioned it was a yank rabbit. is there a differance? who know's. but i think most guy's on here will agree''you will rarely if ever see a tick on a rabbit. makes ya wonder why. the article i read mentioned summat in the rabbits blood, which was not to the tick's liking. another thing i'v noticed is rabbits have pale flesh[meat] 'where as ' hares, fox, deer , ferrets, stoats ect all have darker flesh than rabbit. maybe the olde rabbit does have some natural diffence againt tick's. i do know that after this there will be rabbits up and down the country being checked for tick's,,lol.
