  5. Exactly mate, you can even see the ice age European land fringes now submerged under the water and see how we were connected, on Google maps. the fact that hares were brought here for sport by the Romans as indeed was the pheasant if from a dog mans point of view something to be used to defend hunting hares as dogs would have been used to hunt them back then, So 700 years of history has been lost at the stroke of a pen, now the hound packs used there 2/300 year history as part of there defence and they managed to keep going within the law after the ban, we need to do something similar to
  6. a friendly farmer would be cheaper still, some farms around here store loads through the winter
  7. it is also believed rabbits were introduced to Lundy by the de Marisco family in the 12th century
  8. no way, i don't even carry a mobile any more and wouldn't own one with gps, never mind attaching gps to the dog, dependent on range could be useful in countries with game and ground to suit
  9. the whole thread is re the brown hare so don't change it just to cover your lack of knowledge Think that last line of his was a dead giveaway - he didn't know we had two species of hare here.. what do expect even the Spanish rabbit couldn't live here

  11. The rabbits we have now are descended from ones the Normans brought from Normandy, not the Spanish ones the Romans brought over. Google confirms this! but were talking about the hares that they brought here purely for sport, so its in the same category as a pheasant as they brought them here for the same reason
  12. The Romans introduced new breeds of farm animals, such as the prized white cattle. Archaeological evidence suggests that guinea fowl, chickens and rabbits were probably introduced as farmyard animals. The rabbits, which they introduced, were a Spanish variety that would not have survived for long in the wild as the British winters were too cold. The Romans also brought new species of game into Britain including the brown hare and pheasants. Samian bowls, which were popular at the Romano-British dining table, often depicted scenes of dogs hunting hare or deer. Wild boar and oxen were native ani
  13. when the Romans first came here the soldiers moaned that there were no hares so they are in fact non native and were possibly only introduced for sport, strangely enough the same as today's shooters did with the pheasant That was rabbits love :laugh: no i read it somewhere it was hares for sport and rabbits for food.............love

  15. im just in the process of switching to Ovo, they were not the cheapest but as you say there not the big 6 but still say its just under 230 cheaper than i was paying eon
  16. i know they had developed a visor version of night vision so logically this would be the next stage in that evolution
  17. the muntjac is the king of the cover, hunting them with dogs will take its toll if done regular, its just an accident waiting to happen but i would think it would be very exciting stuff to watch, they can also run when pushed to break cover, you could get a liking for it easy enough, these days deer can be a pain in the arse as their numbers have swelled just look what happened with Fenton
