Hares?

[Furrosious ferreter 499]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...

 

Im not starting a arguement about shooting them either.

 

I watched a hare today through my binoculars at about 35 yards, it didnt look very well at all. The back end looked like it was all messy and it didnt have a tail, both back legs worked alright but it only moved in circles and one front leg looked shorter.

 

At first i thought maybe car had hit it, or a fox had grabbed it.

 

I didnt know if hares suffer from any deseises or ailments.

 

Its been playing on my mind since i left my ground, should i have put it out of misery?

It was your decision to make at the time and, you made it

 

From the description you've given, it sounds like it may have benefited from a shot but, hard to say without being there.

I picked a hare up last season with a badly injured front paw, you cannot leave them lingering, once they're in the pot with guinness, veg then wrapped in pastry it's all good
