Another reason why being allowed to shoot 100+ Hares in day is so much worse than a great dog taking 3/3 , 4/4 , 5/5 in a day!

I could name dozens of moors that you practically trip over the tick ridden b*****ds.

 

Love to know where they get this data from, afterall the sun is widely known for its realistic true articles

Just havin a laugh mate.

 

It is right enough though, alot (most) decent grouse moors have caught on to the fact that hares carry tick which has numerous problems for grouse.

 

1. Ticks can overwhelm young chicks often causing death.

2. Ticks can cause audult birds to loose condition and fail to rear young.

3. Ticks can carry louping ill virus that has % mortality in grouse and other bird species.

4. Hares spread tick throughout the moor and cause problems in other areas.

5. They graze on young heather which can be problematic for moors with poor heather regeneration.

6. As a wild mammal they cannot be used as 'tick mops' as they cannot be treated like sheep.

 

These are some of the reasons keepers are coming down on white hares hard(particularly the louping ill one), and population controll of white hares is a crucial part of upland keepering.

They can have multiple litters of young a year (like rabbits) so without proper management their populations can reach unbelievable densities (hence 600 hare driven days etc).

 

Their is NO chance they will become 'extinct' in the forseable future.

 

 

 

 

Besides that, there no match for a good dog, there soft as shite and run like forest gump.

So ive been told
