Chris Parsons 2 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 A young lad I know is running hares at the moment any killed two tonight. He says it is to keep the pup (14 month) keen and fit. I have had a few arguments with him about this I think it is stupid and shows how much he really doesn't have a clue about the dog game. anyone else actually do this? Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Go look at the thread i started a while ago called summer hares / bringing on pups or something like that, it'll answer your questions. Quote Link to post

And therein lies the problem...I was young once...and now I ain't anymore...and it's far too late for me to get on the ole high horse who goes by the name sanctimony...hopefully he'll learn...and you'll be able to rest assured that the hares down your way get to enjoy their summer break...happy days... 2 Quote Link to post

Not just young lads mind, saw a couple of lads out in the fields must have been mid 30s/early 40s walking the fields looking for kick ups about a week ago. 1 Quote Link to post

It's just sad that those young lads were not brought into the game by folk who educated them properly. The way I was brought into hunting, I knew what was 'right' and 'wrong' (in terms of sportsmanship etc) pretty much from the word go. Quote Link to post
low plains drifter 10,287 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Been out for a good walk earlier on and if the hail stones that froze me to the bone today aswell as last night means the summer is here,I want a feckin refund,but I'm pretty sure there are a fair few of all ages killing hares all year round,as the saying goes,there are old men that have never learn't,and there are young men that never will 4 Quote Link to post
