The one 8,479 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I normally take September off work and make a good start on the ferreting the last two years its been a waste of time unless we do a wee bit in a horse paddock, The leaves are only now falling off the trees Quote Link to post

richie198 28 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 over here the numbers are very low to lads i spoke to a few lads that have land that are usually alive with them and everything just seems to be killed off its getting worse every year Quote Link to post
breeze 1,308 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Poor numbers around here aswell, altho it's never been heaving with them or owt like that, but alway's managed a few. I think it's maybe a combination of several thing's . . . Shite summer's (to wet), harsh winter's with snow and frozen ground. Maybe VHD ? and also an abundance of Buzzard's around this way. Put all them together it's no wonder we are struggling Quote Link to post
