Halfinch 51 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 My thinking is, it has nothing to do with global warming, Rabbits are one of natures true survivers, and i think the more we hunt them the more they will breed to increase their numbers. What do others think to that theory? Quote Link to post

The way it's going you'll only be able to hunt in the months that have an O in them. Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I work on the high ground, so I suppose they breed later than most. Even now they are paired and bucking. Give it 4 more weeks and our season will end. You'll see the tubes in the back end start to swell up. Thats the start of the first litter. If it has to be done then keep getting them, but if it's sport I won't carry on. Bloody hell I am a soft t##t! Quote Link to post
