most hares caught in a day

[mexlad 189]

just read the edrd article by colin didriksen "i don't believe you!".its on about his mate who tells him that his dog killed nine daytime hares, proper courses not out of there seats and he doesn't believe him.just wondered whats the most daytime hares you know of or heard of a dog catching, pre ban.

 

all the best mexlad.

depends where and when theyve been ran, 3 daytime hares on some ground at a certain time of year maybe nothing out of the norm, but at a differnt time of year ie january on different ground 3 daytime hares would be a very very good going.

 

With a good number of hares and a time of year and on ground that favours the dog more, plus a good fit dog that knows the job then i reckon 9 daytime hares is doable, but it would have to be a very very special dog and in the wright time at the wright place.

 

Going of places such as the fens or plains or anywhere where the hares have been pressured say in the mounth of january given fair law i dont think there is a dog in the country that could do them numbers, even if it had good breaks inbetween runs, just my oppinion.
