Bugger all round here,only talking about it last week.

I truly believe the rabbit could become a bit of a scarcity in the uk, look at the population boom of buzzards,badgers foxes etc

then airgunners ,summer lurcher hunters they can only go on for so long.

thats without Mixy an the other disease?

 

 

It all adds up mate im not sure what else it can be. I have 1 spot local i go to mostly to walk the dogs and always a carcas of a rabbit left behind from the buzzards or hawks about there.

Where about by the fort ?

[C.green 3,231]

Lads i moved to an area with me ferrets and a dog that knew the rabbiting game well it was a crap area for rabbits but plenty of birds rats and squrriels so me my dog n ferrets would be ratting or shooting or flushing roe. 

 

I could walk past rabbits now and no longer own ferrets but theres plenty other things that can keep your dogs busy ??

No but lampers can 

[socks 32,253]

There's a disease called European brown hare syndrome that kills off hares very quickly and is similar to rhvd some ecologists believe there is a link and there are scientific studies going on to check this theory out ......

I could go to a small field maybe 1/2 an acre with the lamp tonight and you would see upwards of 70 rabbits on there.its like a field of eyes.
