Mixy ??

Where abouts in east lancs are you , im in accy and mixy has wiped my permissions from garstang to great harwood over the last couple of years. Dont know how fast it spreads but its a sickener when you see your permissions being wiped out , even my bankers in harrogate have been done in with it . Id just leave it and get out looking for new land

Padiham mate, rest I caught were healthy I'll try and knock em over but time will tell I suppose

the thing is it was only a couple of weeks ago I was telling my cousin 'I've not seen mixy local to me'! put my foot in it there didn't I

Thanks all for the input

It was round hapton not long back , looks like its reached your way now . Its a shame , the rabbit population has never been that big round here and everytime it looks to be getting better it goes bad again . The land i have over harwood had a fair few a couple of years back but in the space of 2 weeks you were lucky to see one

It must be sweeping through then pal, Compared to last year there's loads of good uns about I'm gutted really, time will tell what damage it does

Last couple of seasons the rabbits were hit very hard here in the north east, have'nt seen anything but healthy rabbits so far this season, hope it stays that way, it's about time they had a break

Our permission on the fells has been totally hammered by it this year we have only been 3 times,

Garstang st Michaels pilling etc is full of mixy at the moment Neil its hit them hard again

I know garstang is , ive not got any land at st michaels or pilling but its not a surpise , Me and a mate had a drive round by st michaels on our way to a job in blackpool last week and didnt see anything about , didnt even see any dead ones on the road . Bleasdale , barton and claughton got hit earlier in the year aswell

I'm working at poulton le fylde at the moment off at jun 3 then across country lovely flat fields but not seen any signs of rabbits on any of them

IMO, It ain't just myxi....there's something else that's hammering the rabbit population.....

 

myxi's been around for 60+ years, it's some other 'thing' that has been making rabbit numbers drop year on year for the last two decades.....In my opinion.

Yep, Summer rabbiters, people taking huge numbers, not to mention VHD it all adds up. We have myxi every year, but they always seem to breed well enough through the Summer. Two years ago we had VHD go through and they have just not recovered. Hardly a rabbit here now.

Myxi is a very long cruel death for rabbits and to think that it is legal to use it is beyond me these do good clowns should look at this instead of worrying about country sports if these clowns had their way they would ban coursing rabbits tomorrow but its ok to let these rabbits suffer a pitiful death the same with riffles it's okay to shoot animals in the dark and wound them leaving them dieing for days and nights I think the government got Myxi their blind and very thoughtless
