Hey! Gamekeeper wins a page!
I know we don't turn them as often these days, but that just makes it more special!

I got a little done today. Not bad for a Monday, coming off my "work week" with a 3hr power nap. We are on vacation this week, so hopefully we will get some time to do something together.

Cycle, then there are no victims for the predators who will then starve,

[gamekeeper]

We have a lot less in the predator department over here so the rabbits can become a plague unless decimated by disease. It happened in Australia and they imported myxomatosis from south America and then it was spread in the UK illegally by farmers in 1953. The latest disease HRD was first seen in 2014 with mortality rates between 70 and 100%. Personally I'd rather have the predators, not so efficient and could also be hunted

[OldWin]

I don't hunt rabbits anymore. We had a beagle when I was a kid, and we hunted them during the winter months.
I can't remember the last time I shot one. I don't really care to eat them so I leave them be.
It's partridge I hate to see the predators decimating. When the predators cause a reduction in their preferred or easy game, they don't starve. They just start killing something else. They may have smaller litters, but that's the only real change. They will kill whatever they are able to catch and eat.

Predators are adaptable, over here you are more likely to see a Fox in the city than in the countryside.

That's for sure. The coyotes here are incredible. As much harm as they cause, you have to marvel at their uncanny ability to adapt, survive, and thrive. Their senses border on the supernatural.
