They go through a population explosion every couple of years- this year is a boom year. You can get the gun club out if you like- but its probably only a drop in the ocean. Predators- such as foxes, are also having a boom year- its a matter of time before equilibrium is set again- probably this autumn/winter. Other forums on the internet are pushing large industrial strength sonic deterents at farmers- I have no idea how effective they are. Its a pity rabbit meat has fallen out of fashion.......

A lot of hunters still eat them and the older generation. I made an old man very happy with some 'fresh rabbit' couple of weeks back

Ah not the myxomatosis again. A cruel way to die.
We have a few rabits back again too....glad to see them to be honest. A few foxes again too....good to get rid of cows "after-births". Nature will strike it's balance.
