Anyone else having a serious lack this year ??

[GypsyJoe 36]

There was two outbreaks of myxie in my bit last year, odd thing is that there has been some very unusual bunnies which must be the progeny of the survivors, their coats are orange / black / white, def born wild, saw em as babies in the spring, must be that those rabbits that survived myxie had some kind of inherited immunity that also affects coat colour, maybe throwbacks from domestics released into wild?

 

Any one else notice a lot of unusual coat colours after myxie.

Still the same black ones round here they pop up from time too time but numbers seem good think I'll get the same as what I got last year prob round the 500 mark would get 200 more is I could get on too my neighbours farm but still can't get permission on it

The pups ready and raring to go but I really cannot find the bunnys to put infront of her, and any I Do find are so lamp shy you wouldn't believe ! There were loads about over the summer and now nothing ! Cheesed right off. Anyone else struggling

pretty much given up on the lamping starting to really preffer the bushing now never going to get any numbers this way but least i get to see the dogs doing a bit,good to see them hunting up using their noses to find the odd bunny sick walking hours at night with dog on a slip and seeing feck all to be honest,

my thoughts exactly, would much rather walk about for a couple of hours with ferret in rucksack and see the dog doing a bit than walk for 2 hours in the darkness with dog by your side seeing absolutely sod all.

to many summers hunters plus alot now its all about numbers and c--ts with air rifle that shoot them for the sake of it

id say it nothing to do with summer hunters, if that was the case pigeons would be few and far between , there a good chance its the amount of rain weve had,as a lot of young rabbits are born in a single holes very close to the top of the ground , and alot of them c--ts with air rifles might think were c--ts with dogs , so live and let live

not much round we im from, not been for years.

you got to travel if you want a bag full.

[Rabbithunter 456]

i blame the riflemen.

 

One area I worked, 20rabbs would be a crap night. Then they let the rifleboys on. And now 20 be a good night.

 

mind,.i still get my fair share when the riflemen are tucked up in bed
