Brian-911 210 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Don't seem to have a lack of foxes, quite a few of those about, and loads of deer ! But what I'm after coneys...nothing ! And it takes a couple years at least to get numbers back up Quote Link to post
BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 lota mixy over here too but in 2 seasons theyll be back in bigger numbers the survivors are that bit more resistant for a few yrs after. Quote Link to post

zigzag dan 784 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thank God , thought it was me ! Places that usualy hold plenty by me are empty , saw 2 the other night , time before that saw nothing , as been said , combination of mixy , summer hunters , shooters I think , still we must keep trying .

TROY_BOY 62 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 rabbit defo lower than previous years fox all time high here unbelievable amounts roaming around Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,287 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 the numbers are not the best round my area this year, some of the good old reliable spots have hardly a rabbit on them. will have to rack my brains and go to some new spots shortly. theres one spot that i was catching mixi rabbits off at the end of last season been there twice this season had 38 and 25 its some how thriving which suprised me.

elisderyn 496 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 theres no shortage of rabbits up the dales,,,,,,, Quote Link to post
parkim 1 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 There was lots over this end, then all the shrubs got cut back where we went, and the rabbits moved out Quote Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I dont think its anything to do with people hunting them. Possibly mixy RVHD aswell as the weather probably had alot to do with it. 1 Quote Link to post
harerunner 10 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I been finding lots of rabbits on some of my land then a place a mile up the road there is nothing at all on it apart from mixy I just hope the other place don't get it Quote Link to post
ftm 3,357 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 if all the ferreting lads among you just dropped a few live ones here and there in places that cant be lamped ferreted etc they would build up and spread to spots where you can lamp ferret etc me and a mate done this a long time ago and it was mental after a few years but sadly mixy was put down and it dropped the numbers dramatically-billy Quote Link to post
weasle 1,119 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Not worth trying to look after a place your better of killing as much as you can when there there. Quote Link to post
