Yes when it takes a minute to even put a bend in then another minute find any sort of control then when you think your dog is getting somewhere your 3 minutes in and your dog may throw a faint or may well have a go but the timing is slightly out or this particular hare has been here before and remains calm, inches close but not close enough and before you know it the hare has pulled 5 10 15 20 yards on your dog but somehow your dog manages to get back to it n that hare may pull a few times "we've all been there need a strong dog that likes strong hares"
