i suppose everybody has there way off hunting ...but why not get a dog that can catch them ......iam a bit byest i suppose but netting hares ....cant be much satisfaction in that ................are they a problem these hares ......

[Guest joe ox]

Yes fastdog your right I would have no idea how to train a dog to do such a riciculous task as run hares out of a 50 acre field into a gate what probably would not be there. Do you realise just how big a 50 acre field is?
