rascal_2005 79 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hey boys and girls! Has anyone noticed that the bunny numbers in this area are down?? We have got pups we are bringing on but the numbers just are not there. Is it a national thing or just a local thing? Cheers guys Rascal Quote Link to post

redpat1 225 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I am down in Kent mate and on my permission I reckon I am seeing probably 25-30% of last years numbers, I hope they recover for next year! Pat Quote Link to post

Qbgrey 4,065 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 i thoughtb it was just my area,kent,not a rabbit any were,i reckon the wet weathers had a part in it,not seen much mixy...strange and f....k annoying Quote Link to post
rascal_2005 79 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Seems like its a southern thing then?! Qbgrey i think your right, the wet weather must have taken its toll as i havent seen any mixy around for a long time. Its bloody annoying, i have a pup that needs to learn the trade with nothing to teach her with really. Going to have to travel by the looks of things. Rascal Quote Link to post
Phantom-slipper 1 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's not just a southern thing. I live in Newcastle, been out the last 2 nights and seen basically fcuk all in places were there's usually loads. Saying that though most the fields are flooded anyway. Mud up to me knees no good for running a dog on ha Quote Link to post
johnrthrfrd 223 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 The bit permission I have was lifting with rabbits in the summer practically none now. (Gateshead) Quote Link to post
Phantom-slipper 1 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Same here mate. Everywhere I went mooching during summer I seen hundreds. Seen loads of hares at kibblesworth aswell. Thought it was going to be a good winter so spent 200 on a new lamp kit. Wish I just spent it all on drink now ha 1 Quote Link to post
jhiggins 48 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm in Kent and we have noticed a big drop of when we are out on the lamp and fewer in the more open warrens we ferret. They seem to be sticking to the woodland warrens where we have been getting better than normal bags. Atb Quote Link to post
