littletimmy 71 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Theres a small chance i might be moving to Northern Ireland in the near future if work comes off. Due to the nature of the job, i'll have to be on best behaviour(ish). Whats it like over there? I've heard from many that southern ireland most land owners are care free about where you go, but whats NI like? Whats the laws? Are you free to transport dogs from north to south? Can they travel between Mainland britain and NI? thanks lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jf1970 328 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 don't believe all you hear about the land owners in the south being care free, we still have to work hard to gain permission. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,384 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 no its not .... if you dont know what your talking about why reply. the IRISH hare was protected by a temporary protection order .... which was not renewed this year so means there is no protection for them ... the brown hare was never protected so has always been legal to hunt ... now what is banned is the organised coursing meets , the beagles are still allowed to hunt and so are the lurchers so as from 4 days ago (start of the season for hare in NI) any hare is fair game Quote Link to post Share on other sites
