Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think they need to be boxed separately after you've netted them to keep them from fighting and from jumping around and damaging themselves. It's not as easy as moving rabbits but well worth doing if you can do it. Quote Link to post

fallow buck 18 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 i am no expert but i think when they catch the hares for coursing events the animal is tagged with individual number and details of where caught are recorded, that hare gets a single run with greyhounds and is released again where it was found, that same animal will not be used again and allowed to breed, hence why coursing clubs help keep hared established as a species, regarding the original topic.. I knew a place in norfolk where massive numbers of hares were shot regulary and they were left to rot, no one even came to pick them up afterwards,, I knew a shoot in Suffolk which done the same with pheasants, loads would be left there, my ferrets were gratefull but still didn't make it right. all the best fallow / Lurcher Lass Quote Link to post

Leeview 791 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Pre-ban there were estates where hares were netted in their hundreds year after year and moved to more favourable land as breeding stock the Hares were there in numbers without fail,numbers recovered every year. The reason being like rabbits they breed according to how much food is available to them any doubt? think back to last winter rabbit were decimated by the snow but so far there's plenty about this season. So these estates shooting hares thats how they manage to shoot so many year after year Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 some areas never recover leevy if not managed , as you say ,met guys at waterloo cup and were willing t pay 40 euros for good winter hares ,live and deliverd this was years back ,it was anice proposition but was to busy doing other things but if i had lots of land i would re stock and heavy pest control to keep numbers [bANNED TEXT] plant cover game cropetc on the edges of hedges etc Quote Link to post
