been like this were i was brought up most of our lifes even in eighties estates didnt like you coursing hares in scotland , we got told to leave or police ,back then as there was no mobiles so he had to go back to house and phone them etc , by that time we were some were else , this is not new hence the lurcher was a poaching mans dog ,yeras ago we went early morning or grey dark on for a chase or two and off , now they just walk about like lame ducks waiting to get nabbed some of them , it was only in last thirty years people got permision etc for payment and i would say last 20 or more when more people wanted to do it after readin mags etc and fens started getting popular

This/ these laws are just taking the proverbial. Late yesterday afternoon, I sat looking down over land that I own with the dogs. The fields down the valley before me had 3 roe on one side, charlie crossing from right to left, a few rabbits hanging around the edges and enough rushes to hold an army of hares. The footpath at the bottom was like a berghaus catwalk. But could I slip my dogs. Maybe, but whereas before the ban I could walk these fields up without twitching like a virgin on a promise. My dogs, know no difference. Yet they have to kept on leads because some fecking do gooder would be on the phone to old bill.

 

Kept on leads. Now that is the cruelty

I dont think many folk coursing hares give a damn. Its a minority ruining it for the majoirity.

There was a group of lads from across the bridge driving the fields near me before christmas, they eventually got tracked down and one of my mates got a good kicking for trying to help out a farmer.

Grinds my gears whe people are so lazy they can even be bothered to get out of their motor and hunt properly.

This may give them a buzz but it f*cks it all up for other people with running dogs who's chance of getting permission goes from slim to non existant.
