That is amazing TC! I have always been fascinated by them and always shown the hare respect even when I used to hunt them!

 

One of my most memorable moments was when I was shooting, half of us were below a hill covered in gauze while the other half were trying to sneak round to flush some partridge. I felt a huge thud on my ankle and looked down to find I'd disturbed a hare, it must of sat tight until I was right on top of it. Amazing animals to see, there's a lot of stuff I would never have seen if I hadn't started hunting.

I totally agree Nik hunting certainly opened my eyes as well. I think only hunting people can relate to what I am getting at!

 

Other than Youtube videos I've never seen hare coursing/hunting but one of our dogs flushed one and tried to give chase....it didn't last long and was left in the dust, amazing how fast they are
