Thread: Virus

Now 3 to 4 weeks after the realease, depening on your location in Otago or Canterbury, the general feeling it that the Aussie suppliers pissed into a bottle and sent that over.

No dead rabbits reported at all in the Mackenzie. I sincerly hope someone will tell me something different because we need any new tools we can get. The 40% projected kill rate is underwelming but the hope was the new virus would kill of lot of already immune ones from the old, and start a leap frog effect between the two viruses.

Might be wishfull thinking but whatever happens they gave it a shot so thats ok but what next.

Pity is that a lot of farmers stopped doing any control works a while back, and now the virus doesnt appear to be killing anything , so now they realy have a very big problem.

Ive just ordered a lot of Pindone pellets for the winter.

They are releasing a virus in Hawkes Bay as well, I'm a bit guttered cause I am a keen rabbit shooter
