    Certainly no rabbits in the vineyard now with all that grass. Since the boards were disbanded It’s been the land owners responsibility to control rabbits on their land. Not sure what they are whingeing about spending $5000. Some farms down here spend close to 6 figures on pest control annually.

    It’s not just Otago, rabbits have been a bit of a problem here too. One neighbour was complaining about them, when he sold the new owner shot 12 in his first week and still counted another 17 with a thermal scope, and that’s on one hectare.
    I was seeing 10-12 at night, now it’s down to 1-2, but just saw a youngster this morning so numbers are on the increase again.

    Have a few around here too.
    The virus used to go through pretty regular.
    Will have to shoot a few if it doesn't.

    Last year in summer counted over 100 rabbits from one spot on the Roxburgh golf course. Bloody things can stay over that side of the hill. Hares are pretty bad round here at the moment though, counted 16 and two deer on one 3 ha new grass paddock couple evenings ago

    Does that mean , some of these upper-crusters are starting to realize that us common-filth hunter-killer types actually do have an important role to play so that they can keep swilling their Shiraz with the unique gibbston bouquets?
    I think I'll stick to my couple of grass-roots decent bloke nz'ers thanks.

    Essential worker status?? Worth a crack Nigel!

    Thats an awful lot of cheap tasty protein going begging. If the mountains of beuracracy made it ever so slightly easier to sell the stuff, a lot more control would happen for free.

    Had a laugh when I read they get their hunter in every three weeks.

    Had to laugh, some of them going out to buy, aaaaah, guns and probably all the while maintaining an anti gun stance.

    When we moved to this small block 5 years ago no rabbits and only the odd hare, this spring have shot 15 rabbits from the doorstep and seen only 1 hare. Mind you waiting to have it cut for hay so could be some hares out there hiding.
