to be honest i dont think the sizes have changed..diffrent parts of the country they seem to change alot..maybe not the counrty but even county..theres a place in lincs where we used to go if.i say on a blokes called shifty eyes land theres a couple of folk on here who will know where i mean..these hares where quite a bit smaller on here i dont just mean one or two they all seemed like small hares.had some really good races on there too..didnt make them any easier to catch..theres also places down there that seem to hold alot of big hares ..the biggest ive had was local to me didnt measure it but it weighed on abit ..basicly i think theres places that hold a good amounts of big hares and vice verser..big breed with big you get big hares..vice verser again.

a friend was telling me the other day he used to run a place on the fens were they were small but could really run, when he first went there one jumped he thought was a leveret but he didnt think it 4/5 mins later

Ido you remember that one your black bitch ran on that old airfield ?? It might have just been me but that one looked smaller than average but it ran well,

yeah and that was dead winter, they allways fly on them airfields its bald like astro turf were we were then

could be the same place you never know .lol these could certainly run abit ..these got exsercised quite a bit by the passing dog lads iam sure ..because it was very rare you got one out of its seat they where up and off before you could get anywhere near them ..had some very decent races on there thats for sure..to be honest the over big hares most of the time seem to fold easier in my opinion..not allways the case but alot of the time.
