Hare Gone To Ground...

[moonlighter 1,163]

If they have been ran before, they do it regular. I've seen 2 or 3 a day go to ground. And I've also seen plenty try and get to ground but the dog has lost a hare in the same hole so learns to box it away

Seen a dog putting one under pressure and the hare took to the road, the hare was two foot from the dogs nose and it ran into a 6 meter long steel pipe sitting by the side of road, the pipe was just big enough for the hare to fit in!

 

I will never know how it managed to fit in at that speed and how it knew to hide in that pipe!

I remember one course in the early 90's,there was 3 hares sitting in front of a strip wood,so we slipped the 3 dogs that we had hoping to get a couple of courses if not 3 on the go,but all the dogs ran the one hare round and round the field before the hare broke off went into the next field and the dogs were standing looking down a rabbit hole,this was in very heavy rain

To me, digging them out is about on par with kicking them when they run past you!

Or running them in several inches of snow.

happens quite a lot not rare by any means ,.

When these people watch a coursing dvd and the commentator says," the hares piped," I wonder what they think he means?
