Lamping hares...???

[Guest ben blackmore27]

When the hare is seen the hare is run thats how it goes round my area everyone lamps it

How can you call a blinded hare fair game?

 

I can guarantee you it is much easier to catch a hare on the lamp as it dosent know where its going round and round in circles untill it gives up... You must be easily pleased socks...Stick to the rabbits and foxs on the lamp.

 

 

it is easier to catch a lamped hare i agree but as for rabbit's been harder to catch than a hare that's not true

blinded hare ??? how is that going happen unless the hare runs straight towrds you ... a hare is no different than a rabbit ... it is an agricultural pest pure and simple and shouldnt be given any preferencial treatment to the rabbit ...........

I wouldnt be seen dead lamping a hare....so its just aswell i never get seen and the last time i checked im not yet dead

[Guest SJM]

All the folk I know who lamp hares do it because they fill their pants at the sight of a farmer coming across a field towards them, or their dogs are too mediocre to be able to take them consitently and in numbers during the day

clearly you have not compared a hare running during the day and 1 running at night or you would notice the gulf of difference.

personally i dont agree with lamping longears i prefer to see him in the day but accidents do happen, i dont hold it against anyone who does as my lamping mate dessertdog says what do you want to do chase it round the field or eat it...

some people have very strong opinions about this when i bought my pup the fella i got him from said if your gonna lamp hares hes staying with me, fairplay.... cheers bobafet

Cn you honestly sit there and try to tell me that a hare is given as much a chance at night then he is during the day?

 

I seriously think your fighting a losing battle but do as you want where your from but theres alot of people who would have your head on a plate for lamping a hare over here....

it's given the same chance as out else you lamp and a hare on the lamp still now's were to escape if i'm out lamping out that come's along i will slip on but i prefere daytime

[Guest smashygadge]

i have seen hares run straight and jump 5ft walls at night i wouldnt call that blind when a rabbit would just run into it.i have lamped a couple just to get my dog used to the difference in sound they make and rest left for the up and coming season game on

My view on this has changed considerably over the years I've lamped hares and coursed them and anyone who say's that a lamped hare is just as difficult as a day time hare is deluding themselves. You only need to look at the numbers caught by lampers to see how daft that statement is. I know of members in here who have taken 10 in a night on the lamp. Dont get me wrong I've seen some cracking courses at night too and not all hares run blindly in circles but overal as already mentioned even an indifferent dog will catch hares on the lamp. Now for the contentious part should Hares be lamped? This I suppose comes down to individual preferance. My own personal opinion is to test your dog on the ultimate running machine you should do this during the day and any dog capable of taking a good strong winter Hare deserves all the praise coming its way. As I've said I have lamped Hares and I suppose I will again if the opportunity presents itself but I dont go looking for them but each to their own.

it is illegal this time of year

 

Lamping hares is illegal all year round. You can only legally course hares daytime with a permit.

lamping a hare is not COURSING. if you take one at night fair enough but dont call it coursing.

[MarcusOvDarlo 0]

cours·ing // Audio Help /ˈkɔrsɪŋ, ˈkoʊr-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[kawr-sing, kohr-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1.the act of a person or thing that courses. 2.the sport of pursuing game with dogs that follow by sight rather than by scent. [Origin: 1530–40; course + -ing¹]

 

 

so it is coursing, yet foxes arent.

 

Well done mate
