borntoshoot 1 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Hi guys . Reason for posting is because all the lads at college doing gamekeeping dont believe me that its possible to squeek/call in hares I have seen it done with my own eyes by my mate who i shoot with fairly regularly. Has anyone on here heard of this or tried this before and did it work? Edited September 22, 2010 by borntoshoot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
