Lamping Hares?.Best left to the daytime in my opinion.True test of a Lurcher

 

your correct there about daytime hares being the best test of a dog but what about us lot who do not keep saluki crosses and walk feilds for them during the daytime what about lamping dogs should you not slip your dog on a hare on the lamp because its not a true test for your dog. i bet you have slipped your dog on a hare on a plough feild were the hare cannot run its best but somehow it is ok because its "daytime"

 

it all depends on the dogs you run if you had a pure whippet or a half cross collie are they going to catch a daytime hare with any consistance? i think lamping hares would be spot for that. just because there lamped dont mean they just roll over and die i have seen quite a few 5 min courses on the lamp and some that of ended quicker than other just like daytime. they are mostly going to be a fractionly easier because its dark and the fact there is a dazzler in there face but as a said they dont just roll over and die...

 

Mate; if you have seen "quite a few 5 min courses on the lamp", then I suggest you look at your watch for 5 minutes and see how long that actualy is.....or get better dogs !

 

Cheers.

what if your dogs had a hard night before it meets its first hare are they easy then charts?do you slip do you not , knowing your dog might get a tanking or not ? ive seen some good runs at night have you?

I've never seen a dog run a hare for five minutes on the lamp !! Five minutes would most certainly be considered a "grueller" during the day ! If a dog runs a hare for five minutes on the lamp, it should not be considered a lamping dog. If you think it's OK to run a hare for five minutes on the lamp, well..............

 

Cheers.

five mins in the lamp on a hare is a very long time

five mins in the lamp on a hare is a very long time

30 seconds,with a few twists and turns seems a lifetime in the lamp,one mans 5 minutes of excitement will be over quicker for others.If the mutt struggles in the daytime on longer gallops a lamp will make more of an hare dog out of a useless daytime jukel.

Same as EVERYTHING... EVERYTHING is easier at night

It all depend on the ground your lamping them on. Feilds with dips and hills where you can lose it in the beam and lots of gaps and gates give the hare a great advantage but if you are lamping them in flat fields which are fenced with sheep wire almost make it a garuntee for the dog to catch the hare.

thats all we have, very few 'nice' fields to run them in and we also have several spots referred to as the untouchables. the untouchables will make the best hare dog look shit

Why is it that coursing lads seem to think the sun shines out of a hares ass there only big rabbits.

Why is it that coursing lads seem to think the sun shines out of a hares ass there only big rabbits.

the jury is out on that

Based on outward appearances you might think that rodents and lagomorphs are closely related. They do have a similar appearance, they exist in similar ecological niches, they are vegetarian, and they have continuously growing incisors, but they are fundamentally different. Mammalogists now think that lagomorphs are more closely related to ungulates (the hoofed mammals) than to rodents.

 

Rabbit young are born naked and rather helpless (altricial). Hares bear young that are furred and able to move about shortly after birth

Yes but why should they get any special treatment over other quarry
