Thread: Eyup from North Yorkshire /England

Looks like you arrived same time as me @Fssprecision and your just a year older as well as being southerner like me

I used to do a lot of airgunning and rabbiting with a sub 12 ft/lb air rifles and it is very popular over here , I moved across to live firing some years ago . Sadly the rabbit population has really suffered in the UK , they have fallen foul of Mixxy and various strains of VHD . A report on "BBCs' Radio 2 programme Farming Today" claimed rabbit populations across the country were down by 84%.. Very sad , really .
Last Friday night, the conditions were poor for foxing with far too much moonlight , we saw 7 rabbits on 400 acres . This is land where rabbit density was a big problem.

Thankyou , I've shot more than 1 deer .(I still feel under qualified) . I am a more than a little jealous of your public land and open wilderness.
