la bala Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 In the past I have shot hundreds of rabbits from this field. It was cut over the weekend so I thought i would give it a look. I sat and glassed it an hour, nothing. I left my truck and walked the whole length of hedgerow, no runs through the hedge, no droppings, no scratchings. The rabbits did have Mixy last backend, it looks like it has completely wiped them out. To coin a phrase. I am not a happy bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Perhaps they might have survived the mixy if hundreds of them hadn't been shot........? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Mixy and good pest control must finish them in the end. No worries I have other fields with rabbits showing, I must have missed a few last year.

figgy Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Heamorage disease is wiping rabbits out in days. Only the young survive until they reach a certain age. Witnessed it last year, not seen many rabbits this year in most places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
