Biggest Hares

[dytkos 17,783]

I've got the (stuffed and mounted) fore-quarters of one on my wall that a dog of mine caught about 20 years ago. It was 13 and 3/4 pounds in weight. My mate's dog took one of 15 pounds on the same ground a year earlier. Cheers, D.

the man i hunt with said he caught his biggest hare years ago. he said when he was carrying it home he held its legs over his shoulder and the hares ears were still touching the ground.

this man is in his sixtys and has caught just about everything that moves so he has no need to lie to me

 

ive herd of this before aswell

 

the hill hares can grow to this size but are always very light compared to the others usualy full of worms

Hows that dog bred matey my brother had a dog that was the spit of it

[Lennard 10]

Yep TOMO, that's the galgo. The pic is from January. A lean and fast dog, jumps, retrieves (more or less) and very game. I'll try to get some fresh pics...

 

Don't know how he is bred, his mom is a confiscated spanish bitch that proved to be pregnant when transported to here.

I am told that the Irish Hare is smaller than the UK Brown Hare. The largest one I put in a bag was a tad over 9lb, but it was taken with a wee 16 bore. Fife bred hare it was.

The ones down in the borders dont get much above 8lb.
