  1. They are. In Ireland we have park coursing and open coursing. Same rules apply but in park coursing the greyhounds must be muzzeled, and not in open. Although the same rules apply in park coursing the dog that wins the run up usually wins the course. Athough this can differ from judge to judge. When I see the same type of judgeing used in open coursing it makes my blood boil. A lot of the Open C.C.s are struggling nowadays as poaching is a growing problem (it's illegal to use lurchers to hunt hares in the R.O.I.) but a bigger problem IMO is the ever growing buzzard population. Scavangers????
  2. Park coursing basically is all about speed in a straight line going uphill, very few turns at a meeting. As I said the hares are exercised up the Park to know where the sough(escape) is so they do know the ground they re run on Y.I.S Leeview
  3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now consider that between 7000 and 10000 hares per year are captured for use in hare coursing events. Most comment on this relates to the pursuit of the hare on coursing day by a pair of greyhounds...but the hare has already gone through an ordeal before he reaches that point...he is netted, placed in a small box, transported (over varying distances), held in captivity for up to six weeks... After coursing, hares that survive the ordeal (i.e. are not struck or mauled by the dogs) are released b

  8. The Red Kite breeding project at Harewood was initially a 7yrs project which folded as such after 4yrs, as someone mentioned the first released birds bred in the wild the following season and have continued to repopulate all over Yorkshire which was nt exactly anticipated so easily Y.I.S Leeview
  9. Bagging is the excess amount of mesh in the longnet that tangles the rabbit up simply You dont want the net to be like a tennis net if your after 50yds of longnet you'll want 100yds of net(like the tennis net) on a top and bottom line 50yds long, this equates to 100%bagging, as for height of the net well thats a personal choice that gets debated regularly, myself longnetting at night 18" works for me stop netting during the day and I'll set it at no more than 24" but as I say others may choose different heights. Buying sheet netting will definately be quicker than making one yourself but

  14. Newmarket&South of England CC held very well attended meetings plenty of hares on the ground then one year there was very few hares to be seen, checking the local game dealers over 3,500 hares had been brought in shot with the landowners permission No Hares=No Poaching this was around the time the M11? was opened and it was easily accessable to the 4x4 gangs Y.I.S Leeview and this was by no means an isolated incident other prolific clubs suffered the same
  15. The hare was introducd to this country by the Romans The rabbit was introduced centuries later by the Normans as a source of food As for coursing clubs the landowners helped a lot with conservation and habitat to encourage the hare very successfully unfortunately it also received unwanted attention from poachers and that brought on the drastic measures of hare shoots Y.I.S Leeview
