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 plodders
Hares 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 come
well 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. :thumbs:
there flyin were ever there being run.

Plodding behind till the hare eventually runs out of steam...... Not my idea of coursing or enjoyment. All this worship for dogs that take 6 minutes to catch a hare, where does this come from? Serious

To my mind it's a waste of a good hare to kick it out the seat then throw your dog on top of it !

ive seen dogs run untill they collapse and these are fully fit dogs not one bit of saluki in them either :laugh: infact the best bitch i ever saw was the litter brother to my old dog, she through very light framed, the bloke that owned her was one af the varleys (RIP) this bitch caught 32 hares on 32 consecutive days the 33rd was the one where i found he collapsed at the edge of a field in a furrow with her hare collapsed under the bramble not 4 feet infront of her as for the time the course took i have no idea but i semed like ages but then again dont it always, she never did recover fully.

"infact the best bitch i ever saw was the litter brother to my old dog"

 

Was it a dog or a bitch?!? :laugh:
