Any one else struggling?

[iana 25]

Been out twice this week and only bagged 5. I know the rabbits are about as ive seen them when out lamping. Just can't seem to find where they all are.

 

A friend of mine had said that when the warrens get flooded the rabbits take cover above ground?

 

Any way il keep carrying on, and one bit of good news I picked up a new permission on the way home today so will give that a try at the weekend.

We had ten today, I dug to a couple and they were absolutely soaking, I intended to ferret a hedgerow but it was underwater like most of the farm.................been a bad season.

One posative thing that may come about because. Of the flooding is an earlier breeding season,,,I know you can get young in any month,but yesterday we had a very pregnant doe with young that we're about to drop,,, also a lot of the others had swollen tubes and uterus's,,,

Wouldn't call that positive mate, the way it's going the poor buggars will drown

Wet summer and now a wet winter as taken its toll on the rabbit population, Think it will take a long time for the rabbits to bounce back to the numbers we use to see on the farm....................

This has got to be one of the worst seasons iv ever had . Rabbits are struggling and i cant see the point in me hammering them as there will be feck all left . When a do get back out just gonna bolt to the hawk no nets . Thats if a get back out lol the fields are like lakes .

i cant believe how bad it is, they seemed to have gone over night on some of my permission wa out lamping one night seen a tonne of rabbits came out ferreting a day later and there was not a single thing a single thing. i hope it sorts its self out hardly getting any work for ferrets or dog
