Looks like a good year for old Lepus, I Saw a few dozen on last nights drift, eight pairs in one small field as well as plenty of well grown leverets, anyone else seeing hares in number?, reveal your hares

Places here in NSW where rabbits have been wiped out have good hare numbers, must be filling a niche.

Not many rabbits but plenty of hares local , like aussie whip says they seem to be filling a niche .

just spent a few days in Lincolnshire, absolutely riddled with them. no wonder it's the mecca of the coursing boys. my little beddywhippet didn't do much to worry them

Loads here too. Always feels like there’s loads as they’re easier to see this time of year, and more likely to see them in big groups. A lot of rabbits about in places too. Good to see.

Always been a few hares around here, rabbits sadly ever decreasing especially with more and more pasture getting ploughed. Muntjacs also increasing and getting ever stupidier, mate saw one sauntering past the garden gate toward the centre of the village the other day

Over last couple yrs Muntjac and cwd are seen most days local ,can get a bit awkward when dog walkers see my scruffy lot behind one  .

It would be impossible for hare's to outnumber the rabbits round here but they are in reasonable numbers in places I try to leave them alone, haven't run them seriously for over 30 years

I feel your pain... I live in prime coursing ground and I’ve got a beddy/whippet
