Saluki Men / Bringing On Pups / Summer Hares

[Ideation 8,216]

First off, this isn't a dig, it's a question. And obviously talking of pre-ban / Ireland.

 

I hear a lot of lads saying that when bringing on their coursing pups, they tried/ try to give them a few runs over summer on easy hares etc.

 

Every coursing man, seems to have young dogs to bring on every year for the next season.

 

So is this common practice? Does it not go against what they preach, in terms of giving the hare fair respect? And also, can it not potentially f**k up the dog running on hard ground in the heat after sally?

If they didnt run them no doubt the lamping lads would they have loads of mirrors and smoke

Aye, and don't you dare put a beam on one! lol

not every coursing lad does it like this mate. a few use rabbits etc then put them on early or late hares, if theyre up for ita couple of fit hares

The days of open and close seasons have well gone now I never used to run in summer this year I am keeping 1 dog going because I see that many do it regular. If I am not running my land and every other f****r is thats a sign of the times we live in

Seen that loads of times mate. You see a few hares over the summer, loads of rabbits, come the winter, f**k all.

Mine had only a few rabbits last season, wont run him on hare (unless 1 pops up unexpected while out walking) until late august at the earliest... Only thing i will deliberately run him on will be the lure until then

[baw 4,360]

One things for sure, those pups entering the puppy competitions in October, will be behind a hare or 2 this summer

I have been putting my youngen on a few rabbits, and will continue too, not hammering them, only every couple of weeks or so when the weather suits, for a couple of runs.

To me, it is important for the bitch to know what she is for, quite early on.

I heard of lads lamping sea trout, I've never did it but I heard it can be quite affective.
