"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

A question for those of you that deal with such things, are you seeing many Rabbits out yet under the lamp?
Re: Rabbits

More this year than last, still not as many as 5+ years ago

Just coming back in North Kent. Myxomatosis VH1 & VH2 wiped out 99% in last two years.
Re: Rabbits
Next to nothing yet up here, though I'm starting to see one or two scrapes on daylight forays.
Re: Rabbits
I am not seeing as much evidence of them as I would expect despite the farmers comments.
Re: Rabbits
I've noticed on my permission lately they are increasing in numbers. I counted around a hundred the other day at dusk.

Re: Rabbits
I was dodging bunnies aplenty last night in the Landy in one of the fields near me in Oxfordshire.

Re: Rabbits
I'm now plagued by the little blighters. However I won't have to mow the front lawn 

Re: Rabbits
Not many bunnies out yesterday evening which brings me to a question......
Do they stay underground more when they are breeding/have young?
