    IRISH HARE lepus timidus hibernicus is a sub species of the mountain hare geneticaly distinct from the scottish mountain hare lepus timidus scoticus more like those found on the european mainland.recognised as a species in 1833 totally geneticaly distinct from the brown hare lepus europeaus.It has an all white tail unlike the brown.

    Top post DS ive used locators in the past but now dont bother prefering to travel light and try not to dig as much as possible as you say there is a lot more to ferreting the old way i dont do big warrens only take out half a dozen nets monkey in a bag in my pocket a dog and a good knife.Ive always learnt the dogs to mark without pushing their noses underground some folks dont get this saying the dog not mark without putting its head inside the hole but they do. Always approach the warrens from downwind put the dog in stay and net up.if i do get a layup which isnt often ill wait for the ferret

    A lot of dogs get ruined by early work they catch one or two and before you know it you end up working em flat out and as Brock says this can lead to heart and lung trouble later on. I like to let em grow and also ive found the later you start em the less nesh they are of cover and seem a lot more determined

    Irish hares are mountain hares that went into ireland during the last ice age and became a seperate species when the thaw came. They run a bit better than our mountain hares but not as swift as the brown you can see the similarity to the mountain hare still in the head more rabbit looking than the brown

    dogs that jack through Injurys and exhaustion are curable unless the dogs blown bad then you havent a chance ive seen dogs that have blown where folks have rested em and given them plenty of time to come right all to no avail these were dogs that wanted to do the job again but couldnt. I think you have to know the dogs limits its no good running a dog into the ground

    Ive eaten course fish trout salmon carp barble pike perch zander and gudgeon we used to sell pike to the game dealers at 50p a pound whats the difference between poaching fish and game none as far as i can see only its legal with fish if you have a licence just because these fellows eat fish in their native country why shouldnt they do it here i would advise em to buy a licence and that would be it lets face it the government let em in this country so as buisnesses could use them for cheap labour if they were paid the right wage i bet they wouldnt bother eating river fish

    I had what i thought was a good fox dog it took em for fun wouldnt finish some of em though once they were smashed up enough he would just bring em to drop em at your feet this dog took above fifty in three seasons then one of the local landowners aked me if i could rid his estate of em. They were all living in an old quarry and after watching the dog nearly kill itself running up and down near vertical cliffs i had a go at snaring em. One of the main runs was on a slope near the quarry entrance and with my inexperience at snaring foxes at that time i put a wire on it result a fox caught rou

    Do some gambling with your local travellers and show em a dog thats better than theirs not only will you get an endless amount of unwanted callers including some of the names in coursing but believe me if they get beat often enough word spreads like wildfire and sooner or later you will find i speak the truth

    Duckwing is spot on but i would expand on that a bit more if your dog is worth anything to you and good at his job keep to a few select friends if you have to bragging dogs off always ends up with the wrong person hearing and then if your security aint tight it will soon be gone seen a lot of good dogs nicked i came home one day to some with a crowbar in the front door as they knew i had my best dog in the house nothing phases a dog thief

    I owned a hancock half cross litter sister to chuckles a great bitch exelled on the lamp and a proper pot filler i had five hard working seasons out of her and she never let me down it doesnt matter if his dogs dont see work how many first crosses parents do most are bred from ex track dogs and how many collies are lamped not any thay i know of nowadays. at least you know what you will end up with as for the socialising and faults they are down to the person bringing the dog up collie crosses arent a begginers dog in the wrong hands they are easily ruined moreso than less brainy lurchers and
