Hares with the rimmy.

[Bryan 1,362]

your a scumbag for shooting it with a rimmie

 

it's a discussion board and it's good to see stuff that provokes a bit of debate. Illegal coursing isn't an issue where i'm from and hares are repected and almost "PROTECTED" for hunting. but then again no one is threatening farmers because of hares. so wether we all agree or not . discussion has to be good on a message board?

local yokel who are you to call me names you are just an arse licker if you can't be constructive shut the f**k up I HAVE NOT BEEN ON THIS SITE LONG so what do you want me to sit in the corner and wait for some long term member to give his /hers permission FENBO i am not against hares being shoot in the right circumstances i.e where dogs can't be used foxes where possible should be left for terrier men /women and shooters should stick to birds IF THIS UPSETS YOU TOUGH AXEOIL P S BRYAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS

 

thing is mate people are entitled to there opinion of how they hunt hares weather it be with dogs or rifle.

and at the end of the day the farmer wanted them gone and that is that guys land to shoot over.

so its up to him what he does i say. weather we think its right or wrong. as for saying who is local yokel

to call you names ? and saying that you are untitled to your opinion you are mate. but the way you went about it

calling them tossers isnt the best way to put it across is it ? atb jamie

pest control is pest control be it rats, rabbits, Fox's, deer, hare, or feral cats. if the farmer wants it gone what choice have you got ? how many of you would give up your hard earned permission because you didn't want to shoot a hare?. only to then run it with a dog

WHAT FD HAS DONE IS NOT SPORT ITS PART OF HIS JOB we all have bits of our jobs we dislike.

when i first read this thread i thought it was a shame that the hares had to be culled to prevent people trespassing on the land its not FD'S fault that these people have no respect they left the farmer no choice but to prevent them running on his land how else could he of done this ?

The source of the problem is twats that think they can trespass wherever they like. Obtaining permission takes time and effort and I cannot abide people who can't be bothered to do it.

 

I do not shoot hares myself but completely understand the need to do so in this instance.

i think that any one that shoots hares deserves to be shot there selvs at least [bANNED TEXT] a dog is behind them they have a chance of getting away but u c**ts wid gun as soon as there in ya sights BANG 100% dead the hare deerves more than that

Previous to the ban on coursing hares, I'd prefer using dogs anytime over other methods to catch them, I still do.. yes its more sporting, no question about it, but theres many sides to this arguement, I think some are being blinkered, many will run their dogs doubled up on them even on the lamp, now that truely is unsporting, daytime single handed nothing compares, but just makes me wonder sometimes....before anyone thinks I'm swaying towards one, I'm not I sit on the fenceline with dogs or guns, etc. You have got to be open minded as its easy to start condeming people... lots of terriermen don't agree with night time lampers shooting foxes or taking them with running dogs, deer stalkers hate people running dogs at deer regardless if there in season, lots dislike snaring, you could look at it always, you have to define sporting and control, running dogs at hares during daylight nothing comes close, but they are no way going to outperform a gun in terms of control...Everyone has there own opinions, but I agree rifle shooting isn't sporting, there too efficient at what there designed for..

A hare getting coursed off a dog, maybe two then crunch???? Does it deserve more than that as well?

Every animal deserves a humane end, whatever method is used...Like I said, sporting or control..you need to decide.

 

Everything that is alive is subject to one hundred percent mortality. If you cannot live with this knowledge of your own or any other creatures death you can never come to terms with nature....

Jesus christ lad, grow the hell up!

 

Some of the responses in this thread are laughable. Were they typed by monkeys or 12 year olds?

 

Wether you agree with the way the hares were killed or not, FD had a job to do. The farmer wanted the hares gone to stop the trespassers illegally entering onto his land and coursing. They had been asked previously to leave and given back abuse. So what should his next step be? Shoot them? Their dog? Call the police?

 

He took the easier option by removing their target. The hares. No hares - no trespassers.

 

As for calling someone scum and other such idiotic names, I think a few members on here need to grow up and stop being childish Keyboard warriors.

 

One question to all those that do chase hares with dogs, do you have permission on the land you go on or are you trespassing also?

 

For those that are trespassing - Hypocrite springs to mind.

FD simply asking a question, as we in eire are not allowed to shoot hare with a rifle. ihave shot plenty with a shotgun though to thin them out, i just didn't know you could shoot them with a rifle in england... plus as you state, respect for the quarry and it not been wasted, then its served a purpose.

that's well said Ian, everybody will have different opion's but it's only a debate if everyone stay's civil, put's their opinion across, and respect's the ansewer given in return..........

Snapshot -Sorry for sounding short with you mate .With all the negative its a job to sort out the indifferent .

[SNAP SHOT 194]

No prob's, but hell you know how to liven things up for a good debate.

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

Hi FD , I knew this would stir up a can of worms it always does . If the farmer wants rid of a problem you must comply with his wishes , like it or not.

 

Everyone knows the hare is a superior athlete but at the same time needs to be controlled by legal methods. Its up to the individual to decide how.
