mossyh07 64 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I dont.. But a hare shot is a hare wasted in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
North Country Boy 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 there used to be quite a few driven hare days around where i live but alot dont do them now due to dangerous shooting, i believe there is still one up near scarbrough, a few guns from my local syndicate went on a driven hare day last season. Managed to shoot my first hare last sat, was well chuffed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 There as bad as rabbits some of the places I go, I shoot the odd one with a shotgun, a few with the rifle, if anyone wants them.... other than that I'd prefer watching a good dog on them anyday..

tom1cameron 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 loads of upland hare shooting, driven as well, in the grampians. They are a different species that the lowland hare but they taste as good and they can run fast when they want to. Plus, in some areas they can get in extremely high densities. I dont support the eradication you get in some places but a cull every now and then helps reduce tick borne diseases....apparently! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SUNDAYBAIN 19 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 im into shooting but would never shoot a hare but each to there own Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tom1cameron 1 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) SundayBain, sometimes I feel like that about Brown hares, I limit myself to one per season and only when I get the chance, I dont seek them. Remember again that there are two species of hare and each has strongholds in the UK where harvesting is feasable but yes there are other areas where shooting them risks local extinction. I guess that is why we should never pull the trigger without thinking about these kinds of questions T Edited February 24, 2009 by tom1cameron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the Verminator 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 hi i used to go on the hare shoots round us, I've been on days where we shot 450 hares. there a nightmare in some parts of Lincolnshire, worse than rabbits. but i don't go on the shoots any more because of the unsafe shooting and also people who cant shoot and shoot at them too far away annoys me as they end up wounded and not dead, although if you hit a hare where i used to go you had to follow it until you had got it, then call the tractor to come & pick you up. as i said earlier there are hare shoots in Lincolnshire if you want to go on them.
