Maximus Ferret 2,062 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 The guards often have no idea of the law and I could quite see a prosecution going ahead just because the accused didn't know how to fight it. the wildlife officers and the guards done them for it if you go to greyhound data its on there. I reckon the stuff on greyhound data refers to organised coursing where hares are netted and released in front of greyhounds, ie "park" coursing. I followed a thread on another forum about whether walking up a hare on permission was illegal or not. The evidence seems to say it's not illegal but the law is always subject to interpretation and so it seems there's now case history to say it is illegal. Those guys should have got a good lawyer and fought it IMHO. I'd have been happy to make a small cotribution to their lawyers costs and surely others would too. It's a great pity that. I think we've all lost out there. Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,062 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 does the legal hare season not start the first of nov in rep of ireland.I could be wrong but our gun club rules state that they provide coursing of hares in slips from the 1st of november it dosent say what date they were caught but states 1 of the hares was full of young leverts. I've just noticed this post. Well that's how coursing will be lost to us. 1 Quote Link to post

Welcome to the new Ireland lads, where your hound can't hunt or kill it's natural quarry unless you join a club,buy a license,catch it yourself in a net first then muzzle the dog and do it all in front of a crowd. How f*****g stupid is that? Quote Link to post

Killing does with leverets in their bellies is always going to be hard to defend though. Edited October 5, 2011 by Maximus Ferret Quote Link to post
