dh90 6 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 surely there must be some sort of exception as you can never guarantee theres only rabbits. Not only hunting folk this would occur to. any member of the public with a running dog off the lead could accidently put a hare up and catch it Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 thats why i hardly bush with dogs now as there more of the non target species than the targetd species we used to catch them all some times great sport , best places for bushing is rabbit only land and not much else and the rest under the cover of darkness Quote Link to post
