Born Hunter 17,622 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'm seeing a reasonable resurgence locally. Might even go out Sunday morning and try shoot a few over the spaniel. Been enough years without mind. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,157 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 My area has been bad for years regarding rabbit numbers, did see lots of drummers and a few adults when I was on the brecons couple of weeks back, never saw any sat out but plenty in the bracken, not sure if that's because of the hoards of raptors flying around? But back home I see more deer than rabbits normally Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Same as BH, numbers here are slightly up on the previous years, but I reckon still down from what it was 10 or so years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
