HARE SHOOTS

[chimp 299]

you learn something new everyday , tonight i have learnt that hares are only for dog men to pursue lol sorry guys and gals but dont you think all fieldsports should be standing side by side no matter what there quarry is ?

 

hares need controlling as much as rabbits and i doubt dogs could make a big enough dent in the population .i never been into running hares but i always shoot them , if there wasnt a ban on running them i'm sure the guns wouldnt bitch and moan about your chosen sport as a lot have done in this thread .

 

foxes rabbits and hares arnt just for dogs you know lol

Its a digusting waste IMO. Most folk would be happy to retreive 2 or 300 hares in one season with a dog and gun, never mind blasting that amount in one day. Guns make no distinction as to whether or not the hare is fit or strong, so shooting them does not encourage survival of the fittest, whereas coursing on the other hand, does exactly that. Or should I say did

 

100% toatal truth there !!

yep

[Guest Bennybhoy]

shocking, no hare should be shot!!

yep

Amen to that

 

Thats what people do not understand, it is all about survival of the fittest, the best dogs can catch a hare but the fittest hare gets away!

 

not much sport in shooting something that has no chance of escape, in my opinion

yep

[Guest Bennybhoy]

I must say some of you lot should enter yourself in for shooting comps' since its so easy and nothing ever gets away from a gun. What a pile of pish!!!

the hare is respected by most dog men,not lamping.you should understand this steviebhoy being a tim .

Well its that time of year again,the shooting season is finished and most shoots are letting their ferreteters into the coverts to ferret the rabbits. And now the hare shoots are starting,my brother spends a lot of time beating and picking up thruoghout the shooting season and has now got invites to 4 hare shoots in suffolk the first today the expected bag is about 300 hares this will be followed by a second shoot next week where they expect a further 200 hares after that they are left alone,similar numbers are expected on the other shoots,it always seems a shame to shoot that many hares but i suppose they need controlling.Since the ban several people have been prosecuted in this area for illegal hare coursing and with coursers recieving driving bans and vehicles conviscated its no wonder most courers are wary of slipping dogs in this area. WHATS YOUR VIEW??

its not sport shooting them they dont have a chance! at least with dogs theres a 50/50 chance they get away and you see a chase

Direct hit= dead hare, miss= free hare. 50/50 in my book

 

 

Shot in the arse - escape - slow lingering death.

I agree mate we should all stand together but its just a shame that you guys and more of the fishing crew etc didn't stand by us when we needed you and we all had a chance to stand up and be counted, i'm not saying all but a majority didn't.

Its a shame because if you helped save us you would'v saved yourselves, i dont wish for a ban on shooting or any other feildsports, but i think you should get yourselves prepared to join the cue.

[Guest Bennybhoy]

Why put this in the running dog section unless its just to sicken us all ?

[Guest Bennybhoy]

yep agree dodger , the anti's are trying to clamp down on fishing but i dont think fisherman have anything to worry about as it brings in to much and the goverment wouldnt want to see such a loss on such a popular sport .

 

must admit daywalkers do seem to get 'hare blind' and seem to think they have the god given rights to be the only ones to hunt hare.

 

plenty for everyone . next you will be saying dont shoot foxes

It's not the point about shooting just the numbers that are being quoted....if your taking a few hundred a season sooner or later there will come a point that they cant replenish then what?

I know what your saying about the fishing thing chimp, same can be said for horse racing etc, very popular and lots of £s, but the way this country is going i just think we should of all stood tall together when we had chance.

 

Same said for us lads, i wonder how many people with the fxxk the ban logo's orwho winge went on the march.
