Accip74 7,112 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Johnny Kingdom did a piece on long netting hares and relocating them onto a patch of land on his TV series a few years ago. I'd say legal, but not at all certain. Was it on "my land......" Haha.... 2 Quote Link to post
Guest Navek Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Id prefer to give and quarry a decent sporting chance personally. Longnetting a poor Hare sounds a bit like shooting fish in a barrel to me if Im honest! Taking a hare with a net is harder than you think ..I'd say a hare has more chance of escape from gate netting/long netting than it does with a lurcher and a lamp Quote Link to post

low plains drifter 10,736 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I would rather eat a clump of hairs than sink my teeth into a real Hare. Cannot beat a slow cooked hare casserole or a pie, as good or better than roe venison to me 3 Quote Link to post

Cannot beat a slow cooked hare casserole or a pie, as good or better than roe venison to meI have only eaten Hare once (basically the first one that my whippet retrieved one day). It was possibly the worse tasting meat that Ive ever had. I usually cook it and feed it to my dogs, put some veg with it and it makes 4 very big meals so lasts me 2 days with my 2 dogs 1 Quote Link to post
Guest Navek Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 It's not too bad cooked in red wine and bit chicken stock with vegetables in a slow cooker. It's also nice if you " cut the saddles off cut them in to small cubes dip them in milk then flour mixed with salt pepper and chilli flakes/ chilli powder then flash fry them use older squwer to did them in a sweet and sour sauce.. Or put it in a slow cooker with some water and boil it , add either chicken stock cubes or beef stock whichever you like once the meet is falling off the bone strip the meat off and then fry it in a frying pan high heat but quick just to brown it off use it in a stir fry with mushrooms spring opinion green beens Quote Link to post

That's why you can whack in wine, port or guinness when you "jug" it. That's what I reckon anyway and I've eaten quite a few hares in my time. It's one of my favourites along with venison hung in a cold place for at least a week. Farmed meat is for pussies. Edited October 27, 2017 by Maximus Ferret 2 Quote Link to post

But still dont like hare my wife done everything with them , jug, stew, sauce , prob a stew the best only because your camouflaging the taste of the hare. but if do have hare i norm just have the saddle , the rest the dogs have , the best tasting game meat, is fallow, rabbit, and love partridge . 3 Quote Link to post

I can't imagine chocolate in a meat dish but I'd probably give it a go if it was there. I'd try most things at least once. Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 there not hard to catch when you know where there going Having an eye for a path or trail is key to netting or snaring any animal. In an area with lots of hares they sometimes run so close that 2 or even 3 can come through the gateway together before the topline comes down. Quote Link to post
