coursing hares in the snow with 6 dogs.

[Guest vin]

The next thread on here in a couple of months will be why isnt there any quarry around with me no more

If this isnt a wind up,it proves nothing about the ability of the dog,there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a fair and equal course on any quarry,pre ban of course.

I take it there are no Snowshoe Hare in the UK? If there were, you'd be wanting a dog with some nose as well cause they're a pita to SEE if the ground is covered in snow. Fek, no way a sighthound would stay with one... I've damn near stepped on them seen them for a split second and then lost them again in less than 10 seconds time! Seriously, in their white phase they're hard to see, close or far.
