beast 1,884 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 bugger all rabbits again this year, the few that survived last year have been hammered by the ridiculous numbers of foxes round here. as for hares, never loads round here but always the odd one or two, and i would say their numbers are about the same as they have been or maybe just down a little. funny enough though i have seen a few in places i havent seen for 15-20 years Quote Link to post

Polkey 70 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 See a hare on the side of the road (road kill) the other day first I have seen for a long time, I'm only out in the day at the mo though so can only hope there doing well. Love to see them, I always think its a shame to hear about them being shot in big numbers. Couple of the farmers I know like them all shot to keep the muppets off due to problems over the years.
