coursing on somerset levels

[matt32 44]

im just wondering does anyone know if anyone used to course on the somerset levels pre ban aand what it was like i think the levels are about the only place you can see a hare in somerset, the levels are the biggest land we have in somerset similiar to the fens it would be good to hear from anyone who has had experience on them

I coursed with them, but the number of hares was going down every year.

I used to live Easton near to weston-super-mare and i used to run my dogs on hares on the moor land. There was always plenty around there about 13 years ago. not sure about now but it was wonderful ground. The ditches were never that wide so the dog could jump and keep up the pursuit.
