Hare Dying Of Shock

[Plummerterrier 291]

Anybody ever heard of this , might sound daft was in a big open field an let a shot off at a fox from the 22-250 then turned around walked back to the car amd about 15 ft away was a dead hare lying that wasnt there five minutes ago and it was still warm. There were no marks on it as though a fox had it

"Let a shot of at a fox".... Which sounds to me like you missed. Did the hare die laughing??.. Lol

Was using night vision that obviously not zeroed correctly imagine somebody on theses forums actually gave a serious answer. I get the impression theres alot of people on here dont have the experience or knowledge they think they have so they just say something daft

Without wishing to wind you up any further, why were you using a set up to hunt that you hadn't zeroed properly first?

never seen it but have heard of it happening many years ago

dood you shot at a fox without your night vision zeroed ,i think it is you who looks daft without the experience biting when people are kind enough to make lite of it,

Never everyone is perfect,we all make mistakes

 

Back to your question PT I've not heard of that happening but I did have a hare in a snare once which was very much alive jumping around and all,when I got near it,it was dead wether it was shock I don't know

[The one 8,511]

I believe that can happen . Happened to all the hair on my head

Maybe a fragment from ricochet ..

I caught 13 hares in a net one winter morning, put them all alive and well in pigeon crates and put them in my shed at around 9 in morning, a farmer mate who wanted them for his own land turned up at around 10 by time we had a brew and a chat it must have been half 10ish, we went to load them into back of jeep and 10 were dead, by time he got 15 mile to his farm all the rest bar 1 was dead. When he released it he said he knew it wouldn't make it and sure as shit it was found dead in field later that evening. Iv never tried netting or moving a live hare since, and I genuinely felt shit that I'd waste all those hares. Folk do move them tho look at old coursing clubs. Iv seen them on YouTube since with load in crates, so fook knows what I done wrong. But I reckon they all died of shock ..,
