There is a lot of land just like that in north east england,a dog has to be fast and tight running to keep on them,a lot of the time you need a dog that can box them up and really put the pressure on,get some good exciting runs on this type of rough land

[jigsaw 11,899]

thats my thinking too.its great to see a dog flat out and his stamina tested but when you run on that type of land its all over in a minute or so asthey can hit the rushes and go unsighted.fast and fun.My young lad enjoys this type of roughing immensely also.

goodg dog kill on any land .heard that from the irish boys then watched utube lol who

[Charlie in bed 5]

Thank you for your input chaps. I think that any man/women that has coursed both a lot over the years, would know more.

It seems as the old saying goes, horses for courses.

[captain2010 2,806]

So what's a harder hare to run a very good hare Irish hare going to obactles wire tight fields,or a very good English hare in massive land no obactacles say both hares running in depths of winter and both hares top class what ye lads think that ran both ????Which is harder

Well anyone put any input on this as I only hunted Ireland so anybody hunted both land mentioned who done it before what ye think ??????

[captain2010 2,806]

lads I was talking a man while ago old man that did bit of hunting both sides of the pond he reckons a Irish dog loves the big land over in England no fences obactles to be jumping just massive big land to get onto long ear and work no esacpe,he reckons get your dog that's used to small fields on winter wheat at early age used to the ground and bring them over they should run class no obactiles for Irish dog to go through just what I heard as I never was in England,

[jigsaw 11,899]

my mate said the hares in the fens are bigger,faster,and any imperfections in your dogs determination will be seen in no time.it must be a right spectacle to view such a run.

I'd love to go over and I will I ain't got noting to loose and I can't wait to get over see the way The long ears move over there,but tenpleking there is places in Ireland a good dog will find it hard to catch Edited April 14, 2013 by captain2010
