Rabbit Numbers...

[easystart 1]

I've found they are in pockets and when you drop on one you drop on loads

I live in a place called telford, shrops. And these days, the rabbit population seems to have dwindled. Not that many years ago, you could get 30/40rabbits on the lamp on a good nights lamping. Now your lucky if you catch 10/15 on lamp. What's it like around the rest of the country? Don't know wether it's due to more people doing it or wether it's down to mixxy and other types. ?

this mate everybods at it live in doncaster and if i go local to me i dont even see 10/15 rabbits never mind catch that many its just getting batterd everywere mate

When I say 10/15, that's on the rare occasion... it's hammered by me, so we go further afield. Not much different though to be fair. Suppose we need to drop on a good spot, it's finding one though ..Haha. I hear the dales is good going, always fancied a trip up.

[CRAZYHORSE 2,647]

you have answered your own question, if a place is getting hammered as you say there is not going to be many rabbits is there.

[hare_n_hounds 157]

Always been plenty at it though, that combined with that disease from China mentioned earlier is probably why...

A good few years ago before I was allowed my first dog (permission granted to me by HRH my WIFE!) we used to shoot 50+ a night off the back of the truck with shot guns, I used to love it! This was on one local farm, I would be hard pushed now to get that number a season and serves my right too… Since having dogs for myself I call any night with 4 in the bag a good night and if I have seen more than 10 rabbits that night no matter how for away they are it is something of a rarity! So now when the farmer asks "Whats doin'?" I say "Bugger all!" and hopefully in time the numbers may increase… But I still go out around there so he knows I'm on top of it!!!

I am collecting more and more permission as time goes on, but as has been said before it's isolated pockets, I do know where there is some good numbers in places, but it always seems to be out of reach to gain this permission for one reason or another, so I think you are still very lucky to get 10 -15 a night.

I'd say the Dales were much better going before they became so very famous on THL lol. Speaking to lads that live there, they say that this year has not been a good one, a combination of mixy and over hunting in parts.

Very bad year up there jia,, there's places up there with nothing on,,, a combination of last springs cold weather and snow,, and mixy hitting in August ,,,, right through till the end of November ,,,

[lapin2008 1,587]

the dales seem a tad slower this year, other bits I go on near me seem to be decent enough when compared to other years,

 

Just had three nights on the trot down between stafford and stoke-on-trent and seen reasonable numbers there for the area probably more than this time last year when I was down that way last
