    ye its just a rabbit and when legal whatever got up, but if youve traveled and things get away and you think they should be caught it can still get exiting, i like a sporting chase unles its nessesity then job done and dusted ,years ago there were alot more corners of feilds were there was bramble patches over grown land ,always held hare rabbit and odd pheasant ,used be alot of carrots root crops used to get the collie lurcher in and hunt the land out hares etc or the odd rabbit would bolt ,great days , now all the good land were the hare once lived gone ,built over, shot to much to many cars

    as kids we had mongrel colie type lurchers great fun but were limited in pace ,but good for round bramble patches, the game is not about in some areas to have mooching style lurchers as much, we moved on to more speedier racier types that fill the bag were ever , but as yongsters we had some fun rabbit hare, we had great sport but were out run many a time, used to piss me off ,nothing worse than a dog trying his hardest and never getting there ,but as 12 13 and 14 year olds never new any better until we got a lone of a track greyhound then saw other types of lurchers , great days all the same

    lamping had just taken off early eighties it was mainly daylite coursing ferreting and a bit rooster shooting back then ,back then if a dog couldnt catch a hare on his own or paired he wasnt a dog ,more hares then and less restrictions great days ,my early memories of lamping were the cur crosses could get a hare, but not in the daylite as the hare was to clever fast,youle not get any better than one dog in a80 acre feild trying to pick a brown scut up on winter wheat great sport it was , sorted the dogs out , back then,
