davidomarr 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 went for a walk with the dog this afternoon and took the air-rifle hoping to bag a few corvids and to my sadness i saw 3 rabbits badly affected by mixy . i did the decent thing and dispatched each of them which was not hard because they were blind, deaf and already half dead i am gutted as last year i didnt see any on my permission. has anyone else seen signs recently?

Timelord 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm seeing a bit of mixy down on my shoot as well, although it's not really bad it's still showing up. Last year was ok, but hey if the mixy don't get them then I will Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm based in Leeds and there's mixy on both the farms I shoot on. My boys live just up the road in Otley and it's bad round there too. Shame..... Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Seen it on several sites this year, its always there, I have seen mixxy every year for as long as I can remember, if it's clear make the most of it..it will be back! I've seen it once on one rabbit in 3 years around here. They say the population builds up a resistance to it, but it only takes one mutated strain to devastate a population. Quote Link to post
