Richie10 345 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 if travellers shot like this shooting would be bnned its a disgrace, edited to say and some people who lamp hares get shit, honestly this is a disgrace anyone who takes part in one of these drives wants there gun beating around there f****n head, Lurcher man by any chance? A fair bet (mind isnt that illegal?) Really? How insightful! Hare shoots achieve the high numbers because they are not a challenge. If it is a sustainable shoot then fair enough. Lab, how do you know the fate of the shot hares? Everyone goes to the game dealer or he cannot deal with that amount of hares? I would suspect many get used and an equal amount are wasted. It's an assumption that shoots aren't wasteful. If you enjoyed the shoot then fair enough but people know the difference between this and other types of shooting, one is sporting the other not. This is what gets peoples backs up. 1 Link to post

This is what gets peoples backs up. Your correct I dont know for a fact what happened but any decent person takes that amount to the game dealers, f**k me do you know how much that would be???? Sporting???? What utter bollocks. So you must hate rifle shooting at close ranges, trapping, snaring cause some of these forms could be looked at as 'non sporting' but the facts are they serve a purpose. Vermin/ pest control.

"Earth!" 503 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Didnt know you were anti shooting mate.................we live and learn!! I'm far from anti shooting Lab.. ..i owned a scatter gun for year's but give it up as it just did not float my boat..and in all the year's of owning it i never shot one single hare..i have seen them shot though and a lot run on with shot gun's...i just dont like shooting them as they are a perfect piece of evolution..i can just about stomach seeing them cracked with a rimfire but again i personaly wont shoot one with even a rimmy.. im the same mind set. plus most of the farmers here like to see them about i only shoot them with the camera now Afew of your mates do we have a few on the lambourn downs, only had to ask a certain friend of yours once and he turned up with 4 others on a few occassions 1 Link to post
IanB 0 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 What a load of bollocks... Firstly if people don't agree with it don't post in this section... Its about shooting the hints kind of in the title??? People have this weird image about hares people killing them or should we say HUNTING them... Its ok to kill one if a dog is used or even two or three, but not ok to kill one with a snare, gun or any other method??? But its ok for any other animals to be killed.. How many pheasants, pigeons, rabbits, foxes get clipped by shotgun shot and run or fly on, but yet with hares its causes even more controversy than normal... Lets just be realistic without being biased here, if an estate shot over 300 hares in a day......... there's a very high population, any other animal's numbers would be controlled, be it rabbit, deer, fox whatever..

Ian, is it possible to ban persistant trouble makers from certain sections of the site? I don't like the idea of banning at all but certain threads are 100% garunteed to just cause arguments and certain individuals just can't keep their opinions civil. Debate is great and differing opinions make that but this is a bit of a joke at times. I refrained from posting on this thread because shooting hares does f**k all for me but I equally don't see why others should be ashamed of enjoying it, especially when it's done as a form of population management, is sustainable, all the meat is at the dealers and the proceeds have gone to charity! Many don't realise that the February hare shoots are a reward in some ways for all the beaters, ferreters and farm hands. It's not particularly sporting no, but then is it intended to be? And the deffinition of the word is so subjective anyway. Is ferreting sporting? The majority of rabbits are garunteed death when faced with a decent ferreter. I won't shoot hares as it just doesn't sit right with me but I'll support any other mans right to do so! 1 Link to post
