Everyone knew one...

The Hare sits proudly in the middle of his manor, chest out, surveying all around with an air of arrogance. They've travelled far and wide to test their dogs against this legendary animal. Single handed and doubled up, he's beaten them all. Even a team of dogs thrown out of a transit van was no match for this boy.... He once saw a young dog getting carried from the field after what was no more than a second gear jaunt.... One of his easiest foes but the one he should have worried about the most.......

 

For this dog and his impatient owner will do his hunting under the stars. The cover of darkness will be this failure curs career path. No more the beauty of the chase, it's just a numbers game now. No longer 100 yard starts, the form is his starting place. Picked up in his resting place... full of fight but no flight.....The once mighty warrior of them all taken in his prime under a beam.

 

Years later the old men still stand around the fire in the pub reminicising of the untouchable hare in the top field.... All remembering how their dog was the one who nearly had him, how they got close enough to fleck him before he took the chase serious and made good his escape. That hare made many a good dog look foolish....... wonder what happened to him they thought.... Must have been some dog that got him in the end!

A kindred spirit here? When I see a photo of a line of hares laid out for view with the caption "lamped these last night "or some such ,I feel a bit sad ,irrational I know,its just that ,for me a day time, hare given fair law, is such a terrific adversary for a dog ,and having seen average dogs take them on the lamp, it seems such a waste, the same when I see the results of a night with a rifle.Everyone has the right to conduct themselves in their chosen sport the way they see fit,EACH TO HIS OWN,but ,I can't lamp hares.I may be clutching at straws but I cling to the hope that one day this ridiculous ban will be overturned,but if it is not ,I will have my memories of great runs, the moving poetry of dog and hare engaged in that heartstopping duel that is a course. Surely many on here will laugh at my thoughts , so be it!

 

You are who you are.Vive la difference!

well said and how true is that situation, of todays lampers, this little fellow has provided great sport, for generations, of Dog men, It saddens me to see the missing brown Hare, No brown lumps to be seen, were once, there was plenty, and the best dogs in the country come up to test there skills against them, on the Home Of THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL COURSING GROUNDS, THE HARE IS ALMOST GONE, THIS MIGHTY LITTLE WARRIOR, THAT TOOK THE BEST DOGS TO THE CLEANERS, AND it saddens me to see people displaying there trophys that was lamped at night, put your dog up against this little fellow in January and Feb, give him only 40/50 yards start and you only have a hand full of dogs that will complete there job,

well said mate,lamping hares

[border lad 1,047]

you realy hate lamping hares dont you

 

Just carry on as you are doing, in five six years time you fools will have nothing to hunt, except the deer, Foxes will always be around, you will be asking the question Were has all the Rabbits gone????? and there is No Hares, and the Heart of your sport has gone, Wake up and look at AFRICA, THE ONLY PLACE YOU FIND GAME NOW IS IN THE NATIONAL SAFARI PARKS,

well mate it all cant be blamed on the lampers bacouse i have seen people hare couseing in day light on my local filed with as meany as 7 lurchers on a hare at a time & argue witch dog killed it as if it would mater. i have seen people kill hares in numbers dubled up duaring the day then just chuck them in the field to rot so this is respecting the hare is it? i lamp hare & yes i have had dogs that couldnt catch a hare in daylight but whould catch hares at night. i have never tock more than i need becouse i dont just kill for sport & every hare i kill gets eating by myself frends or my animals. there is good & bad in every type of field sport but people just like to stick to there owen little group if your not in it your out. some so called daytime couses make me sick just like some of the night time couses make you sick. but if i whent on some one elses pemishion & they asked me to kill as meany as i could then i would becouse if i didnt then they would or some one else would. but i would never just fling them & they whould all get used even if it was just for dog food& to feed the ferrets. ps i only couse with one dog on anything smaller than a fox unless i have a pup to bring on but even then i useualy bring them on with just rabbits.

Now I don't hunt hares, never had a dog for them and probably never will, and although the true test is single handed daytime its horses for courses.........................
