Recommended Posts

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. :bad:

There was programme on bbc2 about 2 months ago about the hares in Ireland and showed that island.Its where the coursing men put them to breed for the meetings.They net them bring them to main land then bring them back.Must be there so no one can run them but surely they be very soft??????On the same programme the fella said the Irish hare is a mountain hare that does not live on a mountain ??
