a days coursing back in the good days

[whin 463]

well labour put a stop to the coursing legally but plenty of us have fond memories chaseing big ears , here we go ,i take sol sniper x jade pup down my local permision very extensive lol,got sol of s vickers ,hes only ayoung dog black and tan but hes gritty on a chase we walk up a frew feilds , nothing doing so we move on through a big stubble feild, then bang ahares up a good yards sols gets on him two turns hees starting to work the hare ,then hare puts on agear they straiten out onto next feild ,then next then he ties him up ,lift the hare and fetches it back good pup, hes only 13 months old but gritty , like father ,same nite we go lamping him and his kennel mate luke collie type , we lamp a good one hees on out the lamp ,dogs are on him over a rolled feild and get him nice bit of meat ,he was one of the best young dogs ive had ,not a speedster but gritty. cover .woods he followed on ,had plenty more day like that ,hares are alot scarcer now lamps , people from other areas comin in killing there share buzzards badgers foxes non keeperd land ,or what i call proper keepers who take pestcontrol serous , hares have took a drop in some areas were they get are not looked after shame realy ,as it was only 15 years ive countes 13 14 in some feilds now hardly se ahare , to may people not looking after the land , noprper pest control ,when you live on the land you no what to take and keep it sweet , but alot of people abuse things nowadays , must be the same for alot others no proper pestcontrol feilds left bare for corn ,hares living in woods now to get peice were 10 years ago you saw plenty ,shame realy to see the country side change so quick all the best

Some good points whin

[boyo 1,398]

nice read whin agree totally about keepered land theres an estate not to far away that was alive with game when there were 2 keepers looking after it. took some big numbers of it years ago also got chased many times and locked up once now you can go on there without to much hassle but complete waste of time since the shoots and keepers finished hardly any game on there at all in fact not really worth the short drive and walk around there .

Where we are in cheshire we used to see a dozen around feb all running boxing and chasing then the 4x4 cars arrived and now they dont come out of the woods the travellers are on the fields in the cars around 2am and you never see a hare now its only a matter of time before some one gets shot the farmers a fuming no one gets any permission now if cocked it up for everyone

A MIXTURE OF ALL AS WHIN SAYS

[Penda 3,341]

I agree totally with you whin i think its a mixture of alot of things i used to lamp alot of hares pre ban and me and me mate used to hit this 1 spot every friday and we would have 2 or 3 hare a time off there then after a while a couple of lads got the shooting rites on there they shot everything off the land not a feather or fur is left on the land real shame used to have some good nights on there over lamping does affect alot of areas and i was always taught never batter a good spot or youll have nothing to run eventually you cant tell some people this they lamp willy nilly with out a clue then when theyve raved it up theyve got no where to go

[jimlampit 7]

i spose if theres a law agianst it anyway people see no wrong in hunting them by what ever means, as there fecked if their cought doing it in a senseble manner anyhow and atleast by night there away and very rearly get cought

youre [bANNED TEXT] guys ,lamping fecgs good land if over done

 

 

If it's clueless feckwits then i agree Whin but if you have some knowledge about the game then it's a different story imo? I've been lucky enough that pre-ban i ran land which gave up numerous hares each and every season and in that i mean many hundreds!! By early January each and every year by ritual i left them at peace..the following winter the numbers were just the same if not more..i took almost the same amount every year for 20+ years until the ban came into effect..perhaps you could say i keepered the land with good effect lol .ATB Andy.

agreed whin,but as you know.we have it in our own hands to help the hare(pre ban)inferior dogs killing numbers of the countries finest athlete when they would struggle to bend a winter hare.lads who havnt the bottle to go daytime after the light mornings have past and the long ear has a few frosty nights on his back.and for those who will say their dogs could do it daylight.save your breath,its definately true this ban has done jack shit for the welfare of old puss.go ahead talk the talk shoot me down,who gives a monkeys.

[whin 463]

its not in our hands but everybodys farmers keepers hunters before the ban i took a qouta localy then left them be ,you didnt get so many people traveling but now you get all and sundrie to cacth a hare in a big feild most who are not true sportsmen at times as well they dont live in the area they hunt , its the people who hunt them who can make a change or people who look after them ,heard guys hunting them in may once march comes im out of it other jobs to do , its funny how true country men no the land the game but passers byes or have a goes just kill and move on ,it will be the demise of old puss , i know great land deviod at times when realy they should be a pair in every feild , beter they cull the vermin leave dead strips odd bit of setside the better
