neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm always suspicious of that question. If hares are a problem then they'll ask "how do I remove hares" but when the question is "how do i get a live hare" IMO the intentions are those of a cowboy. It's their breeding season so leave them be. JMHO but there isn't an animal living in our countryside that deserves more respect than old Puss. 12 Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Why not Because they are busy, it`s spring time so leave them alone surely ? 1 Link to post
whippet 99 2,613 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 SO IF THE FARMER ASKED HIM TOO REMOVE THEM , YOU WOULD SOONER SHOOT THEM ,.....!!!!! THEY HAVE A SEASON BUT IN THE FARMERS EYES THERE IS NO SEASON AND IN THE RIGHT PLACES THERE ARE DROVES OF THEM ,......... YEAH BIG RESPECT FOR EVERYTHING THIS TIME OF YEAR , BUT PESONALLY I WOULD PREFER TOO RELOCATE THAN CULL , THE DIFFERENCE BEING MAJOR WORK RELOCATING, BUT POSSIBLE DESPITE THE LAW Link to post
nod 285 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 A lot die when they get relocated, causes a lot of stress Link to post

Rake aboot 4,935 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 In that case , you should try to get the job properly through the winter. No point failing to control them during the season, than trying to hit them during the breeding season. On the other hand, it`s really only Hares that I worry that much about. Some animals need controlled all year, but hares aren`t one of them in my book. 1 Link to post

Rake aboot 4,935 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Aye whatever. 30 yrs at it and I`ve yet to meet anyone with a decent reason for trapping live hares during the breeding season. Smells like bullshit to me, but you crack on bud, You asked on a forum how to trap a hare, but yet you`re the big I am hare controller. Or maybe yer 12 and on yer mums laptop. Whatever. 3 Link to post
Hammo 42 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Snaring hares is toss ! If you haven't got a dog that's up to the job ,and you obviously haven't , then sounds like rabbits are more up your street . As for maintaining your permission your better off giving it to someone with a dog that's up to the job ! Link to post

As for maintaining your permission your better off giving it to someone with a dog that's up to the job ! A dog that's up to the job? In case you didn't already know it, it's now illegal to run hares with a dog. Whilst I can appreciate the fact that some folks got lots of pleasure from running hares, you have to accept that like most wild animals they can cause significant damage, and like most wild animals they need management from time to time. There's nothing wrong with shooting or snaring hares where their numbers are high. To the OP, I'd echo what others have already said; this is a bad time of year to be killing hares, but if it has to be done, then gate nets can work well. Link to post
