Guest Catcher Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) This Topic has been going on for years between me and a few of my friend.It,s a old running battle.What is the hardest hare catch.Day or night I say it is a lot harder for a dog to take a daytime hare.A few of my friends say night is just as hard Bull----.I ran dog for twelve years (day and night) and i can say whitout a dout a daytime run is a lot harder.Now people may say you can get an all rounder.That is not the debate. The debate is.)Is it easyer for a dog to take a day or night time hare.Please if you reply give a good reason why. Edited January 17, 2009 by Catcher Quote Link to post

undisputed 1,664 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) HA HA! the last time you had a dog Jesus was still a boy! Anythingoes picture answers your question it's easier at night....although nighttime Hares can be difficult. Asbo....how would you know about blinding a hare with a lamp you've usually got it pointed in the farmers window or up in the sky :D Edited January 18, 2009 by undisputed Quote Link to post

whippeter69 88 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Night hares are a bit dumb i found, but defiantly harder in the day. Quote Link to post
Guest oldskool Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 i think there is a couple of arguements that can be put forward by both parties... FIRSTLY, IMO, the average lad/lass heading out for a nights lamping is probably only running a lurcher with about 50% greyhound in it where as lads that are into daytime coursing are running dogs bred for the job... SECONDLY, hares are silly at the start of the season and can even run into the lad holdin the lamp (i turn my light off unless i want the meat) but when they get educated they dont hang around long... if i'm lamping a hare thats been lamped before i've found them just as hard as what they are during the daytime... especially when they realise that to be safe they only have to run out of the beam and in a big field with a dog thats maybe only half greyhound the dog is goin to find it tough goin.... just my opinion Quote Link to post
ASBO 8 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I KNOW UNDI I WAS ON THE KESTRAL LAGER AGAIN AND FELL ASLEEP AND THE REASON I SHON THE LAMP IN THE WINDOW WAS BECAUSE YOU SAID THE FARMER WAS STANDING NAKED ONLY WANTED A QUICK LOOK Quote Link to post
