Pegasus Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have sole permission at my local golf club on the outskirts of Liverpool, and last year we were overran with bunnies, however this year they seem to have been wiped out by mixa. Is this a local issue or has it spread elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic85 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Our permission seems quieter on the rabbit front this year too. Still a few about though. On the other hand, there is a football pitch locally that no one is allowed to shoot on and that is covered in rabbits every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubshot Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Aware it does seem to be local as to where they do well Plenty around my Area Hertford - Yes and have seen a few Mixy and aware of Bird of Prey Activity BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 My part of Suffolk just outside Ipswich theres loads of them, hot barrels every weekend for me, I cant give them away and the missus has banned me from bringing anymore home again, I been out with the one of the land owners quite a few times mid week, shot good numbers, he doesnt want them either one of the other land owners is shooting them however big they are he's fed up with the damage, there is a helluva lot of young ones round here as well, I have only seen 2 with mixy so far.

Ian750 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 We had a bad bout of mixy round our way 2 years ago and numbers have been well down ever since, thought they would be back this year but not so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellebarto Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Havent seen any with mix on my permission but I reckon year on year numbers have halved on my fav permission. Fox numbers seem to be up though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabs Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Odd spot of mixi here in south Lincs, but nothing to speak of. Bunnies are down a little though, could be down to the last harsh winter. (Or my fantabulous shooting... ) Edited May 9, 2011 by pabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durham-laddie Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 It seems the other way up 'norf, there are quite a few at the moment Finally got my SGC, had my firearms for a good few years.....but I don't have the time. Lost a farm a few months ago as I didnt have the time to shoot, when I went to see the damage they caused I could understand why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southeastpete Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 plenty down here. Seen one with mixy near my best permission, so keen to reduce numbers quickly to try and stop the two populations meeting and spreading it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 saw my first ever mixy last night when i made my self stop working so damn hard an take a well deserved break, was on the edge of a bit of land i dont usally shoot but thought it would be worth a look so, i ended up seeing a mixy rabbit so shot it.

TaxiDriver Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Not many evident on my small permission in Essex Typical ! Now I've got my FAC and SGC All I need now is Rabbits :unsure: Drove out this evening to take a walk around my permission this evening, think I left it a little to late as it was getting dark when I arrived. I loaded up the magazine for my new CZ 455 22lr and walked along the track at the edge of the field, in the distance I could make out the rabbits running back off the field across the track and into the hedgerow. I dropped to one knee, took aim and steadied my breath, as bunny lifted his head I squeezed the trigger as smoothly as my pounding heart would allow and with no more than a 'click' mr rabbit fell over backwards and lay perfectly still, no twitching, - nothing. I paced it out from where I knelt to where he fell = 104 paces, adustable parallax on the scope indicates it somewhere around 100yrds. POI was centre of forehead. That was it for the night, too dark, went home One bunny for one shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Got three tonight. When it got dark I switched a light on. And then it was lights out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
