Borrowing the tackle as I've not been fishing for a few years. Any tips would be much appreciated Looks like we will get a day or so fishing, bit of rough shooting etc. Won't get that much time as this is a family holiday. Will get some pic's though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nastybilly Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 very patchy all over, rabbits are definatly on the decline, and thats not just on the places ah do, mates are all saying the same, from the borders perthshire, its gettin worrying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cal Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Numbers are well down, some of the ground I do isn't worth visiting. I don't think its myxie, there has always been an annual outbreak most places I go, you would get a bag of healthy ones and a few with myxie most days. The one noticable thing is (well for me anyway) no dead or dying rabbits no rotting carcases whatever it is it does the job and does it quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nastybilly Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 LOCKE said: what do you think is killing them off nastybilly do you think its mixy or VHD thats to blame, or some other reason? ah think your [bANNED TEXT] locke and i think its time questions were bein asked to the proper authorities..who ever the feck they might be..defra?..i doubt it, its run by school kids and feckin numpties if any1s got any ideas id like to know, time to stop wondering and start fonin to see if theres [NO TEXT TALK] with answers. if enough people start fonin around and causin a stir about it im sure they'll have to look into it a bit more seriously..its killing them in there thousands up and down the country ( and not a lot of ppl are bothering to much ) and i just wonder if the feckin anties are as keen to stop this as the b"""""s are to see hunting banned in total your bang on [bANNED TEXT] cal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nighttimenellie 4 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) Seen that rhd sweep through a place, went from getting 60-100 a day ferreting, or lamping, every time, all season, to doing the whole estate and struggling to get 20 and that was your lot for the season, its a killer!!!!just to add that was in Scotland Edited January 26, 2006 by nighttimenellie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
