Daz39 962 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Actually I've been looking. I was told the season for Hare was 1st Aug to end Feb - but looking on the Country Alliance website. That is for Mountain hare in Scotland only. I don't see ANY restrictions for brown hare in the UK???? Species England & Wales Scotland Northern Ireland Isle of Man Brown Hare Jan 1 – Dec 31 moorland & unenclosed land is subject to a close season (see below) Open season Oct 1 – Jan 31 Aug 12 – Jan 31* Brown or common hare Oct 1 – Jan 31 Mountain Hare Open season Aug 1 – Feb 28/29 Rabbit Jan 1 – Dec 31 moorland & unenclosed land is subject to a close season (see below) Jan 1 – Dec 31 moorland & unenclosed land is subject to a close season (see below) Rabbit is classed as a pest and therefore not subject to a close season No close season Also no mention on lamping hares either? Whereas there is mention about not lamping deer.... So someone in the know.... is there a season in England? can you lamp a hare? Moorland and unenclosed land does not include arable land or detached portions of land less than 25 acres which adjoins arable land. In England and Wales occupiers or authorised persons may only take and kill ground game on moorland or unenclosed land between 1 September and 31 March inclusive. Firearms may only be used for such purposes between 11 December and 31 March (Ground Game Act 1880 Section 1 (3) and Ground Game (Amendment) Act 1906 Section 2) 1 Quote Link to post
