Simoman 110 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Don't know about wet weather causing liver fluke Although hares can often be found in wooded areas and heavy cover. Quote Link to post

juckler123 707 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Some hares love forestry and will lay up their all day only venturing out for a feed from dusk till dawn some dont even do that prefering to stay in the woods and feed on the rides. some of the wood hares near me make some huge size i would have bet dollars to diamonds thats where they have been during the wet.Hares are bucking now so they are on the move a lot more. and are easier to spot with the sun we have been getting they tend to sit up higher in their seats Quote Link to post

Guest Frank Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Seen 6 the other morning as i came over a small hill, right in front of me, i stood watching them for a wee while, they are so mad now, they nearly come up to you and say hello. Nice to see them about. CHALKWARREN, thats what i would call, honey and toast. Frank. Quote Link to post
