I'm trying to do my bit to help numbers recover but it doesn't look like it will be anytime soon... I've shot a good few that have recovered from mixy but try not to if I can help it I'd rather they pass there genes on but it's hard to tell them apart with the lamp or nv.

redial 81 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 The rabbit may have got a lot of us into field sports. An old gent in our village talks about how they fed many families during WW2 I for one hope they return in numbers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
