Mr Whitehead, one of the top men in the game, with the boys from fieldsports channel, these are the people who should be running the countryside. The hooray henry Goldsmith bros, Boris and his interfering Mrs, Packham and his cronies should be consigned to history along with the RSPCA and RSPB. How much more damaging interference can they inflict on the running of the countryside and its long suffering people. Thanks for another great video Simon keep them coming, and keep up the good work, Regards Alan.

A local family I knew used to farm what was the old airfield at Tuddenham. During the second world war and also prior to it, they had 3 full time warreners, one of which was old enough to remember ferreting the sides of the A11 to stop the rabbits digging stop holes under the road for the horses on the coaches to break their legs in. They cross bred domestic rabbits in the warrens to increase the size, even now you would see the odd funny coloured rabbit hopping about which is obviously a throwback from those times.

Very interesting and informative video! Well done! I have learned a lot from it!

As a comitted countryman there was so much there I didn't know, great vid

[@adehop57]

It amazes me even today that I can get £2.25 for a head shot rabbit, that’s classed as vermin (providing I can hit it in the head 😂) yet .50p max for a pheasant, that’s classed as game ??

[@mrsmith9079]

What would you get for a rabbit shot with a shotgun? Probably comparable to the pheasant, in fairness.

Just to say that flash flooding is a problem. Flooding them out albeit temporarily would increase predation

Myxomatosis spreading via thermals.....I cannot stop laughing......myxomatosis is spread by rabbit fleas!. It can be spread by mosquito's so I think he missed saying that. Someone in England did exactly what the French land owner did. Imported them and released them in England.. They spread myxomatosis in Australia by breeding rabbit fleas collecting them in small glass vials and dropping them from light aircraft. He must be takin' the peassss hahahahaha ! Nice one.
