Rabbiting in Scotland

[macker 5]

alot of spots that i had around dublin.

rabbits have dissapered.

had six farms up to two years ago that you could run the dogs all night.

lucky to get a few runs now.

have been scouting around a few spots with little luck.

only one the farms had reports of myxi.

have gutted a few last season with white specks on liver.

have been told that this is also a big killer of rabbits even before myxi.

might be the reason why rabbits have just dissapered.

with no dead ones to be seen.

not really sure.

seems to getting worse all over except for some hot spots here and there.

for an animal that only needs grass and water you would think they would be doing far better.

some times i think that even tough we are the ones that hunt wildlife.

we are also the only ones that give a shit if they are there.

still a fair few foxs arond to keep me busy.

best of luck to any body else trying to keep their dogs fit.

Seems that the *** on hunting foxes with dogs is taking its toll on the rabbits

 

I heard today of someone up the local cemetary had a kitten taken by a fox in the day.

 

and a local lad had 6 new born dobermen pups killed by a mink.
