Still see plenty of people at it, whenever I breed a litter the kits always go no problem 90% to working homes, had a bloke message me out the blue only last week asking for ferrets saying he has plenty to go at but not enough ferrets. Seen some absurd numbers floating around on social media, lads catching hundreds of rabbits in a day and some thermal footage of fields full of rabbits. Hopefully some youngsters take up the game as it would be an absolute tragedy if ferreting died out.

Love that attitude. Hate when you hear people saying that the rabbit is finished. I believe like you they peak and fall, by the sounds of it before mixi around 1954 rabbits were in almost unimaginable numbers compared to today and 99% were wiped out and yet within 30 years they were in good numbers again and I still hope (and pray) they will be back again from RVHD2 at some point in the not to distant future. Along with rats they are natures great survivors and breeders. My favourite rabbit fact is that Australias rabbit population went from 24 released onto Thomas Austin’s estate to being a n

I totally understand that especially at your age but no matter how well they breed there has to be something to start with or they’ll be gone for good! Like you said though you left some of the other hedges on that field so hopefully still something there. It is a hard one though I know what you mean take them whilst they are there before they are gone but I always try to leave a reasonable number, just take a few not like the good old days. Find myself going out for just a couple of hours rather than all day as just not the rabbits there and don’t want to wipe out what’s left.

Without being negative about if there’s that few about is it not best to leave the ones that are left? Or next season that 3 may be 0…..

Good morning out by the sounds of it. Doing really solid numbers this season well done pal. Good see someone out there doing a bit.

The basic way gold ownership works is either you buy it and physically have it your hand and keep in a safe at home or under the squeaky floorboard or you can pay to have it stored in a safe place which obviously costs money every single year. When it comes to selling the reputable places will buy it at current market price less a small percentage to cover the costs and profit etc. The place I have used charges 3% so if gold was £3000 an oz they would pay £2910. Same when you buy it’s normally 3% over so would cost you £3090 to buy an oz.

Yes and America spends the most but you wouldn’t want there health care system. The nhs is the biggest sole employer in Europe but only 53.2% of those are front line workers, the rest bureaucratic nonsense. They get enough but it’s wasted.

Just watched Territory on Netflix about a huge cattle ranch in Australia. Netflix trying to compete with Yellowstone basically, very watchable. Not as good as Yellowstone but if you like that you’ll like this.

Only if your an illegal immigrant and promise to vote labour.

Is the badger cull still a thing? I assume not especially under this pathetic government. How badgers are still a protected species is beyond me.

Along with RVHD badgers have had a major impact on rabbit numbers. The bloody things are everywhere, always seeing nests dug out by bloody badgers and warrens taken over. They really are everywhere whereas even 10 years ago they were quite rare. I’d shoot the lot if it was up to me, nasty disease riddled things.

Agreed love every single one of those shows. I think Landman may well be the best of the lot though.

Watched both series one and two of Snatch and well worth watching but not a patch on the film.

Nice day by the looks of it, shame so many people are clueless and so quick to call the law but no harm done I suppose. Good numbers you’ve got there.

100 percent true. Definitely can’t get the jill jab anymore. Vas hob the only way now.
