Rabbits are down but the charlies are coming out in the day. Go figure.

Rabbits a bit low foxes every where shot 6 last night and 2 just in field by house tonight coming in to stink pit. To be honest think this weather has knocked them about a bit as all skinny fuckers.. I recon with rabbit numbers and weather maybe foxes won't have such success cubbing this year. Will have to wait and see.

Much the same dude,bunnies a bit low,although one one or two spots, starting to see a few,and the odd drummer,but plenty of charlies,last few I have shot have all been in tip top condition(before they met an gn blitz obviously)

poor numbers of rabbits for the last 7 yrs , mixi etc used to shoot well into 30 s and some times 50 s even with lurchers had some good nights

no i go lamping with dog for fresh air ,the mixi / rhd may have struck here as the rabbits have just died overnight ie no suffering where you pick the odd ones up on footpaths etc as for foxes they ve buggered of due to lack of rabbits around the wind bushes ,used to have at least 2 breeds off a yr ?????

Rabbits low in number on my perms too, foxes doing ridiculously well; campaign starting imminently to redress the balance!

If i put in the time im still getting good bags of rabbits seeing a few foxes about though

[riflehunter583 58]

sounds like foxes are doing ok

[robwelsh 354]

Foxes are everywhere

I think this is the reason rabbit numbers are so low in some parts

one of my places they run a little shoot,surrounded by unshot land , we have shot 17 from the highseats while waiting for the deer to make an appearance.The keeper thinks we walk on water.!!..Our best evening we shot 1 each from the seat ,1 fallow buck , & as we were leaving one crossed the track and stopped about 100m out ,my mate put the light on her,i grabbed the rifle,got out ,loaded,then she just started to move when the 6.5 hit .Three foxes ,one deer goodnight.The fox numbers seem to stay the same ,shoot one ,couple of weeks or less later another moves in.Rabbits are slightly down on a couple of places,but not much .
