Been a couple of years since I kept ferrets. Rabbit numbers here have been decimated by VHD virus, over the last number of years. I would have to travel to get some sport, and just didn't have time for that.

What are numbers like in your area? Sorry for going off topic.

Hopefully the VHD doesn't hit your area. You will know if it does. No sign of sick rabbits. Most die underground very quickly. What once was was fantastic rabbit country, suddenly become void of them, with little or no recovery.
