Running young daft game is all good fun untill you dog thinks they all like that an start pulling up on good game

 

lads best not run there dogs on rabbits then cause they will never want to run hares after that it will be too much hard work

im sure there will be more pups disheartend threw running hares they will never catch rather then than catching too many easy ones!

[Terrier Sam 297]

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

 

 

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

 

That old chestnut "....because other lads will get there first if I don't..." doesn't equal 'respect for quarry'. To me, if you have morals then you have morals. If you don't have morals you pursue quarry out of season

 

I may be wrong though.......

[desertbred 5,490]

The quarry I run is illegal in or out of season so where do morals come into it you mean your a more rightious criminal than me get f***ing real

i doubt it some people hunt all summer yet talk on here as if there season,s over .no respect for farmer,s or the quarry they say to be the true test for a coursin g dog.surley you have to let em breed an get new quarry for the next season.

Look mate I'm too long in the tooth with you on here. However iv seen a load a dogs over the years and have seen more than a few dogs that pulled up or walked when things got tough. Iv seen dogs that have took hundreds thousands even of bunnys but when shown a fox a good winter hare or even a january roe buck they decided thhe easier less taxing bunny was for them. Same with terriers start them off behind a spade an you are given falseconfidence. We all have o our own way of doing things. I like my dogs to start on what they will work

Mugging pregnant and baby animals is not for me

 

A few easy runs for young dogs can be got at the begining of the season just as easy

What folk do on there own bits is up to them...

 

It did get on my tits lads coursing on my bits in the summer and come the winter( dark nights - dark mornings) they dont want to know..

 

Feck knows if its young dogs, young boys (likey not they drove a pejero)

 

I could of had the attitude to get in before them, I did with the rabbits in some bits and have a early started end of Aug but not the hares..

 

This is all pre ban to tho..

 

Their is worst things in life than killing hares in the summer..

 

If these summery lads come moaning about lack of game . I dont have one ounce of sympathy for them tho

 

Is game not green enough in september

The quarry I run is illegal in or out of season so where do morals come into it you mean your a more rightious criminal than me get f*****g real

Legality has nothing to do with morals, or personal ethics.

I would not run hares between second week in March, and middle of September, in actual fact i dont think I've ever run them before October .

Thats just what I'm comfortable with, I would not want to catch leverets, milky does, or nursing does.

 

We know hares can have early and late litters, but we also know the months when the majoriy of them are breeding.

There's a reason they cannot be sold during certain months I agree with it , and I prefer to abide by it.

 

There is talk of a close season for hares , [ obviously this would officially apply to shooting,] imo it's a good idea because at the moment they are a game species that has no formal close season.

 

As can be seen by the responses we get whenever this subject arises,relying on individuals personal ethics, doesnt afford hares much grace at the moment.

 

.If there was a recognized close season , we would not have to rely on peoples personal sporting ethics there would be no argument about it.

 

 

The excuse that,

"Others do it so I'm going to" ," doesn't wash with me, there's a lot of things others do , eg running hares in snow, standing in landways where hares want to go, thereby denying them their escape routes, coursing a hare that they know is a run one , running more than two dogs on a hare etc , using that as ,justification for copying them is not a valid argument imo.

 

Each must do as his conscience dictates,always assuming that he has one, of course.

I couldn't agree more with a post

[desertbred 5,490]

There is a vast amount of talk about morals and conscience in relation to wildlife what about the morals and consciences of the drum bangers over things like child exploitation , domestic violence, corruption in society ethically morally , morality has limited interpretation for some people The morally rightious in my experience are the very ones who commit all kinds of morally corrupt practices like saville obe etc but portray them selves as something else. I have said this year I intend to run one dog on as it happens I havent but should I decide that I want to it is my decision no one elses to many people are so keen to take a morally high standpoint they jump before all the facts or circumstances are before them certainly I am not going to justify myself to others I can live with my conscience

The river we go at for sea trout runs through lovely we fields with plenty of hares how you supposed to catch fish and keep an eye on the dogs poaching about the cover usually saves them.
