cragman 2,770 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 You're right Dean. We checked out a rockpile yesterday and managed to get one on its feet . But it was laying below a slab not underground . Today we walked miles on a moor and low ground checking everything...nowt at home . Plenty being seen on the lamp though :ph34r: . We need some real good hard weather mate. Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Only my opinion but I suspect its something to do with them avoiding the mange mite ,which must hang about underground in badly hit areas.Mange has been absent around us this season.Rabbits did the same to avoid the ravages of mixie.

jigger 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 good hunting bedlingtonman im unfortunate that im working 6 days aweek plus 1day community service {been a bad boy} so opportunities limited. mates dog killed 1 above ground last week but the lurchermen here i think are accounting for a lot of them , i only own 2 terriers.
