lamped hares (pre ban)

[R.D.A 0]

The only way to get a hare around was to lamp them! You would see next to f**k all in the daytime, switch on the lamp and you lost count! The only people who don't like hares being lamped are the old coursers, can't bet on a lamped hare can ye lol. As long as your going to eat it what does it matter, still gives the dog a good sprint out imo.

 

I must be an old courser then and funnily enough...... don't bet on them. Hares shouldn't be lamped. We have all done it, grew up and realised their is no glory in a lamped hare just a dead warrior killed by an unfair advantage....

Fair Play If You Ask Me

ye ye ye you bring your suluki ploders up the mountains where i go we'll see how much respect you have when your dogs blowing out of is arse up and down, up and down trying to catch something that knows the hills gates ect they know excactly where there going not like the fens where you can run the same hare in circles in massive open fields with no where to get away now where to hide, wheres the respect in that imo

True words Hopper mate. I've seen supposedly great saluki based lurchers come to grief on rabbits in the smaller fields and hilly ground. They set themselves up for a long chase, and before they know it the rabbit's in the hedge.

PRE BAN. i lamped a few hares and to be honest the land i run is not suitable for daytime coursing nor do you see them in the daytime there. i'm talking hills (close to mountins) hedges alot of cover for them to get away. this is very hard running for any dog tbh, and your catch rate wouldnt be 6 out of 6 like the fens no matter how good the dog. or are hares just for daytime flatfields, if my land was like that there would of been no need to of lamped them. this is just my thoughts no harm done and hopefully no arguement just some honest opinions please. ALL ABOVE PRE BAN

yes i have lamped the odd hare over the years pre-ban,to be honest never had a dog that would catch them day time coursing and iv never been into it either(probably a good thing with only keeping bullxs lol), the very few i did come across day time made instant fools of my dogs,iv prob only taken half a dozen in nearly twenty years of lamping and if the dog never caught within a short distance the hare was gone out of sight,they also make good eating wich was a good enough reason for me

if they are there at night time ..they are there through the day ....maybe not big numbers like at night but they are there ...they just take a bit more finding a bit more work and walking ....

Very true Dan, It's not about what type of dog, i.e saluki blooded because that's what some have mentioned. The question was reference to lamping hares not saluki's being plodders and gambling ok...........

 

Hares are hares, weak and strong in all, lamp them, shoot them, they are fine beautiful creatures.

 

I like to see my dogs capabilities. If working the night shift was your game then be it.

 

I just wished back in the day that I owned a dog that could run and catch it's hare, all mine are plodders good for nothing pencil necked mongerals.

Little respect left for quarry now,probably why there are so few decent lurcher lads now.

biggest load of bull shit ive ever read on here hares have been lamped since the lamp was invented and id bet theres 1000s more got away than caught. little respect for quarry my arse whats more respectful??? running a couple at night for the pot or running them in the day just to make money and a name for yourself :whistling:
