has any body ever run both irish and brown and there opinion as

to witch one is best

we have had this debate before luke . the brown hare(lepus europaeus) is far quicker than the red hare (lepus timidus hibernicus) whish is a sub species of the mountain hare which are smaller and slower .......its as simple as that ,,...but the irish will say different

 

The Irish hare, ( and im not irish ) is the same size at times, not allways, as the Brown

The Irish hare, can outpase threw rough ground, the brown hare and piss all over the blue hare.

 

Is as simple as that.

iam not saying the red hare is a easy quarry to course but the facts are this the brown hare is bigger and stronger the are faster the brown hare can run up to 70kmh the red hare 60kmh that is a fact the only thing bigger on a red hare / blue hare and they are the same animal is they have bigger feet ,... so on boggy land or snow they will be faster .....

Snoop, have you evidence of what hare is the fastest? I find that hard to believe. Coursed them both, Irish hare is a better hare in my opinion, spoke about it before, an Irish hare has a million places to escape and most know what a dog is. By the way not diminishing the strength of the brown hare, raced hares on lincoln, and altcar that a barrat light fifty couldn't stop!

[/quotei have coursed the odd brown hare though .. on all types of land we anrt really talking about places to escape to ..put it this way stick a red hare on big land and it will be caught much quicker than a brown they are not as fast i have been out with lads that have coursed both and they say the same ...lookit it up mate get the stats on both hares then you tell me which is the fastest and the strongest ...in finland and sweden they comepete for land which gets it .??? the stronger hare the brown . ask lads who have coursed blue hares they are the same animal as the red ...

[Guest Frank]

I reckon i feel a chalange coming on?

 

Come over here snoop and course a few of our redens and ill come over their and get my dog to retreive some brown, then we will see whats what?

[snoopdog 1,256]

this my last say on the subject its getting boring now why dont those who dont belive a well educatered man like myself try looking it up for themselves .....its not hard to find the stats on both hares good look and i hope you arnt to dissapointed with the result they arnt tp much slower ....

[Guest Frank]

Ill say nowt more on this clever subject

 

All the best

ok heres a link on the irish blue moiuntain hare , sorry i mean red hare....read all about it

to be honest if these are thge same as the scottish mountain hare , i learn my pups on them cos they easy killed , they make good striking practice, i had a 7 1/2 month old bitch kill 10 up on Gifford moors and a 9 month old dog pup kill 7 , i thought its to cruel to run an older dog
