ye they would cause the dry summer of 2006 we had more rabbs hares than two prevouis and summer of 1991 same and well im not into saying to,much ye there reasons why the less in someareas ,people have better transport so go further for a day out so more people buzzing about kiling out there own vicinity, all sorts of reasons good hi powerd air rifles , luckli there areas were there always be rabbits and for those that are clever only take so much , same with hare best place is were the vermins shot, of ,dog men a chased on ,the leave rough land for them and winter crops ie food , no places moving with game but its managed to a certain degree on vermin , all sorts of reasons mate , look at the waterloo cup ws there several time before the ban moving with hares i wonder what its like now ,if you keep killing and dont give bits areat fech al game done it and wore the tee shirt as kids

alot of people kill there own sport done it as kids but you learn with expierence , maybe should put an advertisment for live rabbits for re stocking peoples ground lol , got asked at the waterloo cup a few coursing guys to bag live hares for clonmel and other places as we had land you could gate net easy ,but run them and ,some fecher shot alot as they were asked to i fell out with them thye shot 26 brown hares then a fortnite later there were not many another story , alot to do with hares is modern farming animals have little cover and open to elements predators etc in 9293 we used to course land local they were getting paid to leave seta side and we rarely lamped it not for hares much more beasties , now they lamp it come from all over to chase them no natural cover , so thye are scarcer and pushed into woods till nite time its the way it goes. look at buzzards badgers foxes people traveling to find game thats what kills game, years ago we never all had cars hunted our own areas times change
