shaaark 10,864 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 ill be the first to agree that a daytime hare is a lot more different to a lamped hare. but ill stand by the fact a good daytime dog wont last on the lamp..... I've seen It with my own eyes.... but vice versa, a good lamp dog wont last in the daytime.... Take your daytime dog and build him up like any dog on the lamp and they are more than capable.. Take one out and blast them run after run from scratch and they will fade like any dog would.. They can be fit but are not used to the different workload.. Most dogs would not struggle up here in small fields with stock wire and stone walls. Seen 3/4 grey 1/4 saluki take 7 hares and 31 rabbits solo and caught double figures hares with two dogs.. It was purpose bred daytime dog but got lamped regular.. As you say giro, and have said, it's the 'variables' which make most of the difference 1 Quote Link to post
shaaark 10,864 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) A hare will do what it has to to evade capture, regardless of time of day. . To do a hare justice and respect only way in my opinion is to race them daytime. Lamping is not a fair test for a dog at a kicked up hare . I would suggest sir, that you grow up. What's all this 'being fair etc' bollox got to do do with 'hunting'? Hunting is not sport or whatever, it always has been and always will be 'HUNTING' Edited November 15, 2014 by shaaark Quote Link to post
fourlurchers 279 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 you can dress it up however you like or even kid yourself if so, but its still the same no matter what , theyl be easy on the lamp unless they get away lol Quote Link to post

Hunting is not sport or whatever, it always has been and always will be 'HUNTING' the wheel will always be round you cant change it when mr bricktop states respect and justice thats how its been for thousands of years with the hare the romans and greeks worked that out ,that the hare was a far better animal given respect and law and they new about hunting and killing would you not say so ? if you want to go hunting go lamp your hares , when you get bored of knocking over easy hares give your dog a spin daytime the truth will become self evident Quote Link to post

shaaark 10,864 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I suppose they were easier to catch as witches rather than hares, oh yeah, and modern lamps weren't invented then either! lol 1 Quote Link to post

shaaark 10,864 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Lol, kin el poshpikey's question has taken a bit of a turn! Witches, lamps, broomsticks, next thing you'll know will be some turnip saying he saw a whippet catch a hare! Now that would have to be some sort of witchcraft! Quote Link to post
