Said it before ,and I'll say it again, don't care what or how other people call it, fun, sport, testing their dogs, whatever, hunting in any form is exactly that, hunting. To me it's never been 'sport', as that implies straight away that you're doing it for fun, and if I wanted to see sport I'd go to the nearest boxing tournament. As to whether hares are easier to catch on the lamp, yes I agree that in some areas hares are more easily cought on the lamp than in daytime, but there are also plenty of places where you need a very good dog to catch em on the lamp.
