why do it?

[hickymick 37]

Heard recently of some intrepid hunters taking hare in this deep snow, apart from being illegal surely its un ethical there would be an argument to say that the hares caught would not have survived the winter anyway but surely on this 12" thick powdery snow even a strong hare is limited severly!!

 

i dont understand the way some people think and to me it seems the lurcher world is full of this mentality.

 

 

Why anyone would run a dog in these condition,s and risk a bad injury boggles the mind.

how long do u expect your dog to live,lamping,coursing,bushing rabbits,running in the park,all can cause fatal injurys to dogs,left in house they live forever,nd dont get vet bills,not saying your a house mate,[bANNED TEXT] can u do with worry nothing thats my point.better to burn out than fade away.

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

i like your humour,ever done hares in snow on a quad with a flamethrower,not to kill em just to see em run faster,now thats a sport,for you...lmao,not that ive done that but i would see the funny side.lol

for the people who say why just chuck them in the bushes, do we really need to explain why this happens surely you must no if you do a little bit

Why ruin a good dog.By running it in 14" of snow.A Few week,s in the kennel,s will do them no harm.Or i could take them out to break a leg with easy kit.When they have nothing to prove.Get a grip man.atb. Catcher.

ok lot are saying dont hunt hares in snow then what is a winter hare?????use hare men must only get out few times a season and your dogs only get few runs waiting on the right winters day to run your dogs.

most off you all so look at the hare as a sport when other look at it at hunting there big differnce in both both words.

Fair play to you long dog men who only run one dog on a hare and give them 100 yards head start and stand and watch dog run hare for 5 6 mins but its not for me dont own longdogs l own luchers and slip two dogs on hare snow or not why??? because there luchers not longdogs and are not breed just hunt one thing there breed fill the pot hare rabbit what ever but hunting hares is still a sore point with most on this site never seen a animal have so many rules off hunting it.no lamping no snow no summer must be giving fair law only one dog etc etc hare gets up slip if it gets away it gets away simple

if you accidently flush 1 up and dogs get it well cant be helped dog food or ferret food but to hunt them in those conditions is totally against wat its all about thats not sport but then again there are alot of people about who have not been shown the way of the sporting hunter some want to kill everything that moves no wonder they got the ban in with all the damage they do i ferret sometimes with nets if i want rabbits badly but also without just to see the lurcher in action its all about the chase with me not numbers end of rant !

If Im out with the dogs an somethin is around, then Im wanting to catch it, whatever the weather, why? because its not about sport, its about meat for the household. end of. In fact, why the f**k would you kill something for sport??? Now thats something I dont understand.

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.

well me dogs 16mth old whetton grey kills hares for fun wouldnt even slip me dog in the snow to easy to cath? as a fecking pug could cacth em
