fitchet 788 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 are the hares on the fens different to hares elsewhere? its been a longtime since i ran a hare(1993 was the last time) but if any of my mongrel lurchers had taken any more than 3 mins to catch a hare i would have been very dissapointed! Ohhh aye, they are super hares or so I'm told. It's down to the good feeding, game crops etc and all the exercise they get from the ploddersHares definitely vary enormously , I ran the fens twice a week for a few years. On a Sunday morning, half the country was there! Now find a corner out of the way, no one else knew about and the dogs would piss allover the high number of hares to be found. On the places all and sundry went, same dogs, totally different story!.thats why some lads that go on permission that only gets run 2 or 3 times a season are kidding there selfs when knocking big numbers over get the same dogs on rabbits that are run every day and its a different out comewell said there the big match this week is takin place on a place were the hares havent been run all season as the gun men wont let u on till there season finished which was only last week so there not the fittest of hares on there. there flyin were ever there being run.oh no there not u get bad hares as well as gooduns try the scottish or slemish hares there hardly a test for an average lamping dog. Ive seen bull/greyhounds catch them feckers ....... 1 Quote Link to post
