good hares in dalkieth and some parts of stirling depends what you meen by good

i mean by good is that some hares are soft and 'sit up' for the dogs even if you give em a 100yd slip they still sit up , which results in a easy kill , this does not really test a dog , but some hares go at 110% start till finish and give the dog a good grueller of a course , these races let you see what the dogs made of , obviously hares are softer this time of year but all the same not all dogs can catch a summer hare let alone a winter hare , thats when the fun begins.

i know lads with dogs who run continuously through summer and really rate their dogs , but winter comes and they cant even bend em....obviously they blame it on the ground being too hard or too soft :whistle:

What do you mean when you say sit up, do you mean they sit up when they are out in the field feeding etc rather than being clapped down in the bed? or do you mean they run in that bouncy way with their ears up rather than running full pelt with their ears back ?

[Guest mush]

Salisbury Plain and around that area

[brock 11]

i wouldnt say they are that good in salisbury,i think the flinnty ground works against the dogs

[rabbit slayer 22]

[leec 132]

salisbury plain tidworth warminster downs are good hares its not that flinty either its mostly grass bald smooth grass an hares fly on it

[Guest Top Chalker]

Ran hares in every part of the country , and the fen hares are bye a long way the strongest , if you run hares the land can help the hares , hedges fences etc , but most lurchers can kill hares in smaller fields , put them on a fen hare and it all changes !!!!!!!!!

[Guest wex]

has anyone done the hares in somerset ??

I ran them around the Cheddar gorge area, the land is very similar to Altcar. I think the hares are hardest in heavily dogged areas. As the sole survivours are on pins waiting for thier next run.cheers WEX

ive never seen many fen dogs do it on small ground , just because the way they run , but i have seen a couple do it , but then thats why they were masterpieces but its hard to find a dog thats got it all , speed , agility , staying power ,brains and last but not least a deadly mouth cos at the end of the day if they dont got a good mouth they dont catch the hare

yes ran there mate , its because they are poky little fields with bad fences and hedges but they not a bad hare , more get away than get caught (daytime)

The Irish Red Hare, is the best.

 

Frank.

best at what frank .??????????? getting caught ....

 

I thought the same way once, tilll i coursed the buggers

they go threw every obstical possible and can fecking move like feck, over rough terrien, that would leave a brown standing

i thought you had given up the drink frank sober up man and talk some sense

 

Nahh, sober as a mad March hare mate Id say they are both equal on their own ground, but, put a brown on the bog and the Red On the fen, then the red will think all his birthdays will have come at once and the poor auld famouse, bran by bullet x zap, put back to harvey, will stare in amazment, as it tares across the big open fen

frank without a dont the irish red hare can shift
