fred90 3,245 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 it's mixy I think as well. they have had it here since February still got it now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 3,622 Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Wicked disease, looks like another shit season for me then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 3,622 Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Seems like a real bad strain of it, this past 3 years or so they been hit harder than usual. I wondered if it was a combination of mixy and rhd that was getting them. Plenty of hawks doing well out of it though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fred90 3,245 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 don't despair too much. a place on East Coast last year held good numbers. went last June dying everywhere full of mixy. just been back this June and more rabbits than before some serious numbers so you never know. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 3,622 Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Seems every time they get wiped out they breed harder and you see more young than previous years but they still get knocked down by it again. Might have to travel this winter. Time will tell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fred90 3,245 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 it's something we have to live with. it's demoralising when you see it just got to hope they get back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate 9000 676 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 I hope the cnut who developed these diseases died a slow painful death and all his offspring. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 9,861 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Still hard to believe this disease is still as deadly and about from when it was first introduced in the 50s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,231 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think but could be wrobg the vhd makes there eyes go glassy but the look healthy otherwise. Remember catching a few off a good area looked blind and poor as rooks and the population on that spot wemt right down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
