What's people's personal best with one dog in one day, and what month of the year was is ? The most I've had in one day is 5 with a bitch I bred, her father direct out of Charlie and mother direct out Joe, that was in Lincolnshire in November, her mother did 4 at Boston in January, never seen a dog with my own eyes do more than 5 in one day but know it has been done but 

Big numbers = bad hares

Or good dogs, you had 6 with bonnie one Boxing Day didn’t you, I’ve always said a dog that can catch 2 or 3 hares most times out is a top class animal in my eyes

Me personally think it comes down to month of the year/weather /ground/land/the hairs themselves weather there soft or clued up/etc ... here in Ireland a dog could just say 4or5 where as take him to UK where there is ground for miles I mean 2 or 3 times the size of most the land back here I personally think they'd struggle tbh ...like  imagine a soccer player playing on a gaa pitch he'd  struggle big Time or be found dead ffs just my opinion each too there own ... like Cheltenham the Irish horses clean up every year its down to the slight changes in different circumstances

Numbers wouldn't bother to be fair as long as your mutt gives there all get a kill or two getting out with your jukel and he don't jack .know when your dogs had enough is more important rather than breaking him down .then you can fight another day

Why on earth would you want to wipe out 20+ green hares after the fields have just been cut, shit for brains springs to mind.

Still, for me, that number is bullshit.

More about bragging rights than anything else.
