[latchy 21]

probarly cos half the dogs cant kill them if there was ne snow down.. thats the only reason i can see if they not eating them and its not as if there alot of meat left on them anyhow with all this snow

i have a friend who lives in a bowtop with two lurchers, he does it, for food for him and dogs when he cant get rabbits like now but i know he dont do it for sport, his dogs are very good snow or not.

if they need killed, kill them, if in the snow is the only time it can be done, do it

 

if ye eat them, eat them if not feed them to the dogs, what the feck is so almighty about a hare lol lol

 

its jus a big wabbit

In deep snow even a collie can kill more hares than you can carry, this means that most of the near-useless, heavy, pot-lickers pictured on these forums which can never, ever catch a good daytime winter hare single handed (or even a lamped hare in many cases) can kill hares in the snow. It's not sport, most will have done it once, but once should be enough. The hare is a magnificent sporting animal and it takes a good dog to catch a daytime winter hare single-handed, but in the snow almost any dog can kill a hare. Coursing is a sport, if you just want to kill hares then snare them or get a rifle and go out and butcher as many as you like but don't pretend it's sporting or an achievement or that it's interesting or that it shows what a great hunter you are. There's a lot on here who have no idea of sport and no respect for their quarry- they are the same people who run little leverets and pregnant and milky does in the summer. One thing you can guarantee is that these losers have never owned and will never own a decent single-handed coursing dog. These people just seem to think that killing things is fun and to my mind would be better off getting a job in an abattoir rather than walking out with a long-dog.

I reckon lads go out and run them in the snow for the same reason they run them in the beam. Not many lads like to put the time in walking fields to find a hare so they just go out when its easiest to find them.

Even pre ban i rarely bothered hares, i didn't have the dogs for them. I could of understood using the weather to give young dogs some confidence or filling the pot but its not for me ruunning them in the snow with dogs, even if legal.........

[Guest my balls your mouth]

Its great fun, try it

 

 

eating hares??

 

No running lurchers doubled and trebled on hares in the snow they carnt get away its brilliant

 

As for eating them :sick: they taste disgusting I just throw them away

 

You're just trying to upset people you naughty boy. We all know you like to eat the hare and it's you running after them in the snow with your wellies on.

 

Eat hares Nooo I much prefer waxed and I dont wear wellies Iam more aero dynamic in my birthday suite

Calling hunting a sport is what got your hunting taken from you. Stand up for your blood lust.

It is strange calling hunting a sport. I don't know of any other sport where something is killed and eaten unless you're talking about Mike Tyson.

Unfortunately there's not many that eat, give away, feed to dogs or sell their kills.

[Guest crobinc840]

What's the point of killing something and throwing it in the bushes? That's just lazy and ruins it for the people that would make use of their catch.
