AGREE... i'M NOT ONE FOR SHOOTING HARES, BUT GOT AN INVITE A FEW YEARS AGO TO WANTAGE FOR A DRIVED HARE DAY, (WELL, TWO DAYS ACCTUALLY), and 300 odd were shot on the first day and 320 ish on the second day,
up until that day i would never condone the shooting of hares but they are so large in numbers up there it does not have an impact on their survival.... this is partly due to the amount of 'stick' the keeper got from so called coursing men..
