M ROBSON Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Just got back from a holiday in north Devon. I've never seen so many Rabbits, every field had 50+ bunnies in at 8 o'clock in the evening. Half an our walking around and you would easily see 500+ Cheers, Mark.

Dunkield Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Where abouts were you Mark? (roughly) I have spent a fair bit of time in North Devon and seen most stuff but we never many wabbits. I normally go to western edge of Exmoor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 That is a few, but not to steal your thunder.. I was out with StealthStalker off here the other night, OH MY CHRIST! I have never seen aything like it. We drove round a hedge in the landy and into this set aside field, there must have been 100+ rabbits in it all got up and sprinted - it was like a sea of rabbits! I have never seen anything like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossy835 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 like to shoot that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I help out on a shoot in North Wales, and the rabbits on cover crops can be a serious pest. Last Tuesday night we shot 62 in three hours. Part of the reason is that the foxes have taken a severe battering over the past 12 months. Normally I do not like to shoot the small rabbits, but last week we had no option. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Oh some great sized rabbits aswell, trouble with our shoots/farms etc, once you keep shooting them, things start to decrease in amounts, perfect to find a nice new piece that no one has shot over.

M ROBSON Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Is that near Croyde Bay Mark? That exactly where I was, those are the fields behind the sand dunes. There are about a dozen fields all alive with bunnies. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubertus Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Normally I do not like to shoot the small rabbits, but last week we had no option. HI Don, why not? Isnt it better shooting the young ones then adult ones that could have little rabbits? Hubertus @Mark, what have you done there in your holiday? I will have a guess: Shooting. Am i right?

Stealth Stalker Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Take alook at these, pic taken at 8 am this morning on a site that I have been trying to get permission on for ages. I was knocked back earlier in March with a letter saying, "We have a pest contractor retained by *************** and any control is enacted by them, on our instruction" And another to get them all in What do you reckon? Is the pest contractor being given any instruction? I counted 87 this morning & i must of spooked another 40 atleast getting into position for the photos SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
