I know there was a bit of an ongoing argument on this subject but back in the day when we were aloud to coarse hairs how many of you lamped them and whats peoples feelings on this proberbly just set my self up for anouther long drawn argument and slagging off but hear we go some think it wasnt sporting and some love it. I have read on a couple of topics on hear about hares arnt lamped well hear were I live they used to be lamped by all.

thoughts on this please.

hate killing any hare day or night is waiste.the run is the buzz. i hate leaving a good meal in a hedge because its to hot to have it in the motor on the way home

Id rather run them by day,ran a few at night back in the good old days,wouldnt say they were easy,easier mebbes but not easy.

I dont have to hunt for food,and i dont believe theres that many people do actually 'need to'. And for that reason alone i prefered daytime hares,theres so much more to it than an easier kill.

when im out i slip on whatever comes in the lamp,always have and always will.

 

ps when the bans lifted.

the way i look at hares ill not lamp localy now as come the [bANNED TEXT] time of year they ll be about to course and i can takethe odd mate out but i will lamp a few fot the table but not 5 or ten when i sold them i no guys who kill a good few but really if there not out in the daylite some areas you need to lamp for sport and for the pot i would never buy a hare or any game , and i like hare and game and in some places at nite the hare hets out the beam knows were hees going so not always a gimme but like some i wouldnt take lots like some and boast about it , not proud killing hares on easy ground ilike whenthe hares ears go down at this time of year and the dog works for it a bit , stubble hares are easy for a few months then get wiser and titen the dog up as hees running harder , only way would i lamp big numbers were to bring apup on or a god price for them ,not for just the sake of it

The land i go on for hares is pretty bad ground right up the dales loads of brows steep hills big resh patchs and the number of hares is imense a typical good nite out will bring 50/100 hares in the beam the dog has to be at them quick or they gone we were taking 20+ a night along with a good haul of rabbits pre ban

Probably there dogs were not good enough to do them in the day time, to me there is No sport in Lamping hares, those little long ears could give great sport, and when you witnessed, a good course, in daylight, the rest is second best, thats why I dislike, the shooting of those fellows, and the lamping of them, I have had fantastic sport, with them, over the past 50 years, and I can honestly say I had some of the best dogs, at that job, and for me there was No better,cross, COLLIE X GREYHOUND, THIRTY ODD YEARS AGO, we never saw or heard of the saluki x yes there are some some of that breed are great dogs, WHIN, has a couple, BUT HE HAS A STAR BITCH 9YEARS OF AGE AND STILL ABLE TO DO HER JOB((( lANA A SELECTED BREED OF THE COLLIE X GREYHOUND. in the past the Lurcher was to fill the pot,and enjoy the sport, not slaughter and in todays world of Organic food

THERE IS NO BETTER EATING, THAN A RABBIT PIE, AND A jULY LEVERET, THE BEST OF FOOD, bUT IF YOU ALL GO ON WITH YOUR HUGE AMOUNT OF TROPHYS THEN SADLY NO LAND CAN SUSTAIN THAT SLAUGHTER, it is food for your thought, ((((( and please I am not here for the argument,

utter crap. both rabbits and hares use runs day or night they are as quick. take either of the run and a baby could catch them. why else would we send a fast dog out into the field at night and sit with a gatenet if the dog could catch them.

Been there done that on Altcar were theres loads of Hares,We have had some good sport over the years on the lamp.

However that was back in the old days.

 

I dont see NO wrong in Lamping,Coursing wether it be day or night

on bigger land you can have sum great courses on the lamp, smaller fields there alot easier 2 catch. a few places i new the hares were real machines, and lamp and weather wudnt affect there abbilities...

A lamped hare to me has the same feeling in me gut as seeing a hare knocked over or one shot... Waste of a good hare. For me the Hare is the king of our wildlife, he stands out in the middle of the field believing he can beat all foe... No sitting near the fence (A fence is strands of wire seperating a field) for him So give him the respect he deserves, don't ambush him with a light....
