Good Man 196 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I was ferreting in co. sligo today, near the coast, was near oyster island, got talking to a local, he noticed my small lurcher and said, yea should take it over to that island, full of hares, oyster island. i then found out, the greyhound coursing club in that area, own all the hares on it and they manage it.
