  1. But earlier you wrote that the buck was leading the dog away from the doe.....which one is it????you've got to stick to one story...
  2. In courtship plumage they really are magnificent.........I fancy hand-rearing one, one day. maybe.
  3. A mix of fullers earth and washing up liquid will degrease the leader....
  4. thats the one Brilliant...... :yes: :yes: that'll do me.
  5. and why do you think, in nine times out of ten, that the buck hares rises first?.... ????????
  6. you would often put up the buck first, I suppose to take danger away from his doe this is what you wrote......to take danger away from his doe..
  7. Come on, answer the question>? Do you think that the buck hare thinks he can lure the dog away by flaunting himself, then return for more sex?
  8. ffs that says it all I'm still waiting for you to answer the question? but obviously you don't want to, so thats fair enough. You believe that the buck 'cares' about the doe's welfare, thats fair enough.It's actually interesting to read various opinions, and it's all good research..... i didnt say it cares im just saying what ive noticed well then why does it do it? It surely cannot be co-incidence? you say that the buck hare takes the dog away from the doe, so why would it do this if it didn't care about her welfare?

  11. What about when they both jump together.......i wonder is its a suicide pact? They can't face life without each other maybe????
  12. And on how many occasions have you slipped on a flaunting hare and it's been a buck? This data is both unique and fascinating....... so your saying its not true Yes, thats what I'm saying.... heres the thing......aside from caring for their young until they can fend for themselves, almost all mammals are selfish, they care about whats good for themselves. This is especially more relevent in solitary animals, such as the hare. A male hare only ever cares about a female when she is in heat, thats it. And then all he wants to do is shag her, not 'lead a dog away from her so she
  13. and details of two hares sat together? and which one jumped first and what sex it was? no need to be offensive, you made a big statement and I don't agree with it.....why are you getting shirty. I would love to see your data...especially that on the pairs of hares....

  15. What sex is the hare doing the flaunting and how do you determine this? still waiting for the definitive answer on this one........

  21. What?? Sorry but I can't understand what that means??? You stated that a buck leads danger away froma doe..... my question is, how do you know what sex is running away first....and, on how many occasions has this happened for you to come to such a statement.... I'm only asking, so please enlighten ......I am really keen to understand it......

    If you don't think the remains are the dog then it would be possible to prove/disprove this by hair analysis I believe....just a thought..... lets keep spreading the word!
  23. I don't think hares think like that....they don't think: "Oh no, here's a predator, I will 'lead' it away from the female'.....they do not have that level of understanding and thinking. And how do you know it's always bucks that rise first...? And again, that's in my experience..... same as them not using the same seat as your title says you learn something new every day maybe this is your day to learn 2 new things lol So you think that hares get emotional about their mate? And tell her to stay there and I will lead a predator away? nature a strange thing you never know do

  25. I've got quite a few photos of that actually, and photos of bucks with their knobs out, as well as other graphic shots...... most i've seen in a straight line was 9 I think.....I was once sat in a grass field and seven hares came past me in a V formation, the female leading, the rest being bucks. it was superb, absolutely amazing experience and I photographed the whole thing, often they passed within 5 yards. I managed to belly crawl across the field back toward where they'd settled in a bit of a gang and spent a long time watching them there and I can safely say that it isn't just does that
