You Learn Something New Every Day.....

Darcy..

 

How do you think this exemption of the hunting act would stand up ????

 

Observation and study of a wild mammal, using not more than two dogs and no dog below ground.

 

what's your interpretation of that ??

 

To me you could course a few as long as you took a few pictures and recorded the data ??

 

 

 

Good pictures fella...

 

Often find hares in exact same spots...

What you on about mid shag what I said was when hare's have paired up its mostly the buck that will rise FIRST taking the course away from the doe.

 

Thats in my exspiriance not reading out of books or spending hours on here but years in the fields with dogs capable of catching there quarry.

 

No way match dogs but I've never bin into numbers, and on more than 1 occasion I've been cheering the hare on after

Yes I understood what you were saying,,,,,it just reminded me of putting hares up,,,,whilst they were in middle of shagging,,,,on one occasion last year,,,I was real close,,,just a few metres away,,,,

I once counted 17 circling, bucking boxing hares in one field about 40 plus years ago. I reckon if a lurcher had been put in amongst them they wouldn't have noticed until a couple or so had been killed. That was on a sporting estate where the hares weren't shot only coursed.

The powers that be should realise that coursing equals loads of hares which means healthy hare populations.

Years ago you used to get packs of crazed dogs following a bitch in heat---- it was a bit like that.

I don't think hares think like that....they don't think:

"Oh no, here's a predator, I will 'lead' it away from the female'.....they do not have that level of understanding and thinking.

And how do you know it's always bucks that rise first...?

 

And again, that's in my experience.....

I've got quite a few photos of that actually, and photos of bucks with their knobs out, as well as other graphic shots......

most i've seen in a straight line was 9 I think.....I was once sat in a grass field and seven hares came past me in a V formation, the female leading, the rest being bucks. it was superb, absolutely amazing experience and I photographed the whole thing, often they passed within 5 yards. I managed to belly crawl across the field back toward where they'd settled in a bit of a gang and spent a long time watching them there and I can safely say that it isn't just does that box off bucks, but alpha buck will box off the lower ranking ones also....

So you think that hares get emotional about their mate? And tell her to stay there and I will lead a predator away?

So, what you're saying is that a buck thinks it will protect the doe by leading the predator away?

 

Do you think hares have that level of intellect? AND, more importantly, how do you sex the hare that is jumping first?

[Tiercel 6,986]

My understanding of hare family life is the buck does the deed, end of. After that he plays no part in the upbringing of the leverets.

This is totally off topic, but did anyone see the programme on BBC about the honey badger?

They are capable of selecting, carrying and then propping a branch against the wall of a pen in order to escape. Take the branches away and they will pile up stones. Take away the stones and they will use sods of grass. I don't think chimps would be capable of thinking in such a sophisticated way.

If they attack they will go for your balls and hang on-humans, rhinos lions. Amazing creatures.

Yes you learn summat new every day.

Who knows what goes through a hare's consciousness? They've always been seen as being a supernatural creature. I'll keep an open mind about what goes through their heads.

One thing that always pees me off is their distress call. It's too much like a human baby.
