Aussie Whip 4,083 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 My dogs put in extra effort when they see a black rabbit for some reason and they kill which they rarely do on normal colored rabbits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moocher71 4,049 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Me grandad called them parsons and he'd never take one ,I remember seeing black /white rabbits along a railway line years ago near Market harbouer but I think someone had let them go and they had bred with wild ones .

samboy 304 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 I've been rabbit shooting for 16 years now and never seen a black one. Also have never shot a myxi one either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,514 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Was always told killing one was bad luck. I shot one the day my dad later died so I've never shot once since. Was always nervous ferreting in areas that had em in case the ferret killed one.....not sure if it would jinx me or the ferret though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your lucky ! in the early 50s i was with my Granddad driving his Motor Bike and Side Car through the Warren Hills in Leicestershire we drove over one after another both dead and alive , we went for Miles through Charnwood Forest and then back ! i have never forgotten the sensation of going over all those animals or the smell .
