J Darcy 5,871 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's a mountain hare,midway between changing from winter coat to summer coat. But if it was shot in the midlands it's very lost. No its not..... a fine and rare beast...get it to the taxidermist if i were you. something to show the grandkids... 4 Quote Link to post

forest of dean redneck 11,534 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 My first thoughts were brown hare ,but after I had a google I can see the confusion as some of the images of a mountain hare moulting look very similar. I reckon they should have tried to have heard its accent ,lol Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) "and belive me i saw 200 hares plus yesterday". Interesting hare though. 200 might be an over estimate but I and several other Hawk fliers were there and We saw more hares in a two hour period than most lads will have seen all season and that is fact not exageration, Edited February 26, 2013 by desertbred Quote Link to post

juckler123 707 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Always thought whites look like not fully grown brown hares caught a few in derbyshire not many fully white that dont look like a whitey to me not first pied hare ive seen either get it stuffed bud look good on the mantlepiece and a top memory for you atvb. Black foxes used to be common where i grew up rufford and grove released some black strain foxes back in the sixtys ive seen menalistic blacks but these were a lot darker and spread a fair distance at that time.
