lamping hares

[iceman001979 1,316]

Just got back into hunting the past year and a half after being out off the game for a well.Back then l hunted hares during the day but never had any good really hares dogs about me and was really just out till see the runs.

Since then the crowd l hunted with have gone in diff ways.1 hunts foxs the other still hunts hares and l myself have got into lamping and ferreting with a few other ppl.

The last time we where out lamping we caught 2 hares l hunting hares myself and know they are 10 times better during the day and a lot easier till catch on the lamp but l dont really go for hares during the day but will do more next year l myself dont think there is anything wrong with lamping hares but would just like till hear other peoples opinions???? :thumbs:

Down to the inividual. Purists will call you all sorts for even mentioning it but its still more sporting than shooting them. A bloke with an average lamping/rabbit dog isnt going to find hares 'piss easy' at night and almost impossible daytime on big land so i say enjoy your sport, just respect your quarry and dont hammer it on the lamp if your dog is a good hare dog. jmo

dont mind lamping a few hares feck all wrong with it the die hard day timers will say no but thats what there into but i dont mind lamping them yes they do run better in the day but so dose every thing else.

i think the majority of lamping men only lamp with half cross dogs etc... i've lamped many hares in areas where they have been lamped before and they certainly know what they are doin... i have often turned the light off and tried to get the dog back if i find that the hare is uneducated and the dog is goin to make a fool of it... i've had hares bang into me on occassion.... but like i say when they are educated they can make a good lampin dog look a fool!!

lamping hare,s at night ??????????? NO

 

they are one off the cream,,,,,,and putting 1 0r 2 million power lamp on them,,,,just to watch them squat,,,or run into beam ,,,,or run round and round the feild ,,,is no sport

 

they are dawn OR dust ,,animals,,,,,,and should be hunted then,,,,,,not when they cant see or half asleep,,,,,,,my old springer could catch them on lamp,,,,,,never mind a lurcher or running dog

 

 

( P,S DONT CARE IF I GET FLACK FOR THIS COMMENT,,,,,I SPEAK MY MIND ,,,END OFF )

me to what a load of shit. he will be telling us his ferret kills fox next. :laugh:

wouldn't touch a hare on the lamp, I wouldn't even feel right taking one in the day around here, not many about, it's not like England where there is a good supply..... like I say Ireland is a different country for hare all together.

whippxgrey you must have never run hares on the lamp some can fecking move let me tell you come down here and run some of the hares on the lamp on big open fields then try telling us a springer would catch them load of bollox

I've seen hares make good dog look shit at night and seen better runs iN the night so personally don't see ote wrong with it

dont see a problem lamping them if u walk for 2 hours and only see hares surely u going to slip or are u just taking the dog a walk at night with the bat and torch

only if i wanted one for the pot, in my opinion they deserve a decent chance to get away and they don t get that at night , they tend to panic more than a bunny and often run straight down the beam at you . used to do it a lot years ago but would now rather save the dogs energy for a few more rabbits.

hares are for threw the day but if am ever making a game pie and have no hare in the freezer then i would go and get one on the lamp but as alot of people have said they are no sport on the lamp as they are two easy to catch
