males are usually too small for hares, the females are better suited as there heavier, the can take pheasants and other gamebirds but they have to be very fit, males are usually faster than a female but still can get out flew by a pheasant,
i was out with a male and a female both 09 birds on tuesday, both put in good flights on pheasant, rabbit, and a partrige but both wernt fit enough and the bag was empty, still good fun though
