Seasons?

[NEWKID 26,351]

I can't remeber ever the winter being this warm, we're yet to have a frost down here in Devon, and yesterday we had 3 rabbits carrying young.

Do you think the seasons matter anymore as by the looks of it we've now got year round breeding............

[BrianSteven72 369]

its not been that cold up hear in Scotland ether this winter although not seen and rabbits in young , but this time last year we were knee deep in snow and it was down to minus 20 at night it swings in roundabouts some winters are mild and some are frozen

Aye it's been warm here, for winter.

 

But you try getting me out ferreting in the middle of summer. . . . . . f**k that!

 

And lamping with the ground baked hard, chasing scutties. . . . .no thankyou!

i normal be bang into me ferreting by this time of year but ive had a slow start with it being so mild. the cover has only just started to die back. been out twice so far for proper days ferreting this season.

 

wasent long ago we were getting milky doe`s and even come across the odd mixi rabbit lately which ide of though should of gone dormant by now.

 

these last few years the seasons are all fecked up, its different every year now.

In Exeter mate, heard there was a sprinkling on the moors but I've not even woken to ice on the car yet......

 

Ideation: I didn't ferret much after end of feb last year as we started to find young in them, never been a summer hunter, just don't expect to find 3 with young in them at the end of December.

My hands are red raw from yesterday mate, the bit we ferreted yesterday we were waiting till the frost had killed it off a bit as it's a bit of a jungle, the frost hasn't came yet so we just got on with it, at this rate we may get a frost in april

only had it once or twice in plymouth

Quite normal to find rabbits in kit down south here in Sussex, Devon being warmer and more chance of rabbits with their bellys full of young.
