BEST PLACE TO SHOOT RABBITS!!!!!!

[TDes]

hi mate,the answer to your question is no,it,s nothing to do with tame black rabbits being released,it,s genetic,to do with inbreeding and what it does is throw up black gene once in ablue moon,hence the black rabbits.And if you think about it,black is by far not the only colour of domestic rabbits,so where are the multi coloured wild rabbits?....hope this explains it .....all the best

I looked into this ages ago, someone told me it was black rabbits they used to introduce mixi, so it could be monitored. Someone else had the tame rabbit theory.

I like to think it is a melanistic rabbit, it is the opposite of albino but more common as the black offers better camoflage (so better life expectancy for the gene to pass on). It is really common in some animals, like leopards / panthers.

I used to see a few melanistic pheasants when I was a game keeper years ago.

I also have a movie I shot out the New Forest where a White stag crosses a ride then a few other dear cross then a Black (melanistic) on crosses!!

Its not the best quality but its ok, does anyone know where I could sell the footage a bit like Harry Hills you been framed but for wildlife?

I thought it was a goat at first!!

Assuming that you're a competent shooter looking for a shoot, try to find a farm with a copse in the middle, rabbits love to dig in woodlands and raid the surrounding fields every night. Woodlands are often slightly higher than the surrounding land, the trees stop soil erosion, and rabbits love well drained soil. Who wants to sleep in a puddle ?

Also, fields near dykes and raised railway lines will be full of bunnies for the same reason.
