8shot 192 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 could be the v.h.d virus can wipe out a rabbit population in days look it up atb 8shot Quote Link to post
mattydski 560 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think if you go back they will still be there. Some weather conditions favour rabbits being seen, others dont. My guess is that you saw them on a windy rainy night, and you went back on a clear frosty night. Try again.. They'll be back....to coin a phrase Quote Link to post

The one 8,535 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 We went to a bit today saw a good few rabbits,pheasants fox etc but i think it was just because it took us a hour to walk there if it was nearer the road they would all be gone Quote Link to post
adymorris 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 had a similar thing a few weeks ago, went to an area normally full of bunnies and we shot 1 rabbit and 3 hares - normally would have been 20+ in that time Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Most of the rabbits are inside peoples's ferrets. Quote Link to post
