Whats Happening?

[The Seeker 3,048]

Went out for walk round with the rim fire yesterday on one of my permissions and didn't see a single rabbit.

The place used to be absolutely moving with rabbits, a couple of hours walk round and you could easily do 10-15 bunnies without really trying.

 

This spring there were plenty of little drummers running around so thought we would have a bumper year but it really has been dire. I can't even blame it on mixi as there has been very little evidence of it. Now winters on its way I feel numbers will struggle

 

Very strange times indeed

Its seems some folk will be struggling this year ,but on other land a couple of miles away there a plague problem with the rabbits

How are others doing have this years young come through or have you noticed less than usual?

 

Not so long ago I was struggling to give them away there were that many, now I'm lucky to get one...just to add its certainly not through over hunting and me and my mate are the only ones with permission.

Very little numbers where i live compared to last year a ferreting trip becomes more of a walk than owt else

I'm the same as the one, land that was showing good promise is now totally void and land that was dead a few miles away is now crawling with them! It's like they've all moved bloody house!!
