Deker 3,478 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ok help me out, most of my shooting is done in Berkshire with a hint of Oxon, Surrey, Hants and Wilts. My Game dealer keeps asking me for Hare; now I do a lot of shooting over a lot of Berkshire (not over all the county mind you, mainly the east) and I simply do not see Hare in Berkshire! Every time I talk to my game dealer he tells me X has a couple of Hare on his land up the road, or Y's land is full of them, but as yet nobody has produced any for him! Now, I fully expect there probably are some in the county, but can anyone tell me 100% where, not ....my mate saw one last week or the bloke down the pub saw some. Confirmed sightings only please! So...are there Hare in Berkshire or not? Deker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for berkshire i dont know where that is! anything north of sheffield gets the generic "its near london" Anything NORTH of Sheffield is near London, I hope you have sat nav or you could get lost finding the bathroom! Just for any foreigners living north of Watford, Berkshire is a county, its quite wide and thin and its just West of London......that's on the left....but I suppose it depends which way up you are holding your map book!! Oh yes....it looks like there are no Hares there either! Deker Edited October 12, 2007 by Deker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferret15 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 i grew up in Berkshire (little village called checkendon) we had here there but never in big numbers the odd one here and there you were considered lucky to of seen one. but there were always plenty of other things to keep us occupied and the place was crawling with muntys. i live in surrey now have done for six years and i have seen three since we have been here so either there are less in these parts or I'm going blind, one of the two Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crow 1 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Kind of strange to me that you're asking for guaranteed places that hold hare in a county where hare is obviously not very common - just so you can go and shoot them! Won't be any left then will there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,478 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I hear what you say, but first off I do not poach and second off I am sick of hearing ..."my mate saw one"..."I know someone who knows someone who has seen them" and in particular I am fed up with my game dealer telling me there are pleanty around and he wants some, when I keep insisting there are not! More than anything I am trying to find out if I am right; that there are none in Berkshire, (or only VERY, VERY few) so I obviously want 100% confirmed personal sightings!
