good run on a hare

[stevemac 445]

My sixteen year old son took my two stags out for a run this afternoon for a walk , they had a couple of good runs on the rabbits, buggers sit to close to the warrens around here so they dont give us much chance of a catch during daylight. after a bit more walk the dogs put up a good big adult hare which took them on a good long run until the bitch caught. she has a very soft mouth when comes to rabbits and hares and Ive taught her to return to hand. she carried the hare back 300yds or so until she was about 4feet from him she dropped it, the hare then made good its escape. so I guess she was praticing her catch and release technics.
