Shooting of hares

Rubytex - i take it you are young. Before you enter into that debate, have a think, if you culled a herd / group (whatever) of any animal, with a gun, or a dog, which will result in the healthier, stronger population, of better specimins? At the end of the day, which, the gun or the dog, will better select out the old or unwell? Been out with trophy shooters, and they always want the big lad at the front, whereas i'd be happy picking off the straggler at the back.

 

Don't see what that's got to do with anything.

 

The point is, why would landowners WANT a healthier and stronger population on their land? They wouldn't. When dog men say thier dogs are better off going after the weak and older quarry for the 'greater good', what does that say about the faith they have in their dogs ability?

 

Either way, there shouldn't be a problem in how hare are hunted, be it coursed or shot.

maybe the that's the difference between shooters and dog men/women.

 

I respect and admire everything i run,i want to see them conserved and thrive in manageable numbers,anyone who just indiscriminately shoots vast numbers can't have their best interest at heart.

really what is the problem , a lot of dogmen crying over a scabby??

 

i shoot them on sight but i am lucky enough to have lots round me , while driving up the A1 the other day i saw quite a few lads walking the fields and coursing stuff in full view of the motorway , now who are the thick fucks if they cant even keep it under wraps and moan like little bitches when it comes on top .

Large scale population reduction is becoming more and more common around here.

 

The reason for that is the ongoing battle with poachers who seem to think that it's OK to cut fences, drive through gates, take vehicles onto growing crops and then just throw away the hares they catch.

 

Sometimes the running dog fraternity are their own worst enemy. It's hard to get permission to use running dogs on rabbits around here just because the minority take advantage.

 

When you've experienced the level of relentless criminality associated with running dogs around here you can't blame the farmers for wanting reduce the hare population to try and discourage them from visiting.

Are you a kid?

 

The more you speak, the less clued up you sound. No offence.

 

Your last comment is just thick.

I think he is young and naive mate, although his last post does kinda make sense, for all the wrong reasons,

 

Just read a post of his about how you should be able to call a dog off when in pursuit. Young lad, let him roll with it.

Jesus wept Ideation, are you into kids or something? I'm nowhere near being classed as a 'kid' ffs. Just because you don't agree with my opinion doesn't mean i'm any less than your humble self. In your other post you said it was as bad as digging cubs and shooting young rabbits. Don't be so fooking wet man! You'll be saying it's on a par with eating babies next.

 

If there are one or two hares about then i don't see the point in killing them. If there's a big population that might be causing some problems, then get rid using the method that is allowed by law.

 

No need to get your fanny flaps knotted about it is there?

[RubyTex 1,957]

And you should be able to call a dog off. If i can call a dog that has one of the biggest prey drives off a chase then what does that make me, God? Since no one else seems to be able to manage it.

Ive seen this happening more and more,its a sad reflection on hunters,especially dogmen when landowners take the descision to eradicate ground game to protect their property and crops,local to me the hares are being shot and dumped in gateways,either thats to let the poachers know its a waste of time coming on here,or they are as bad as the lads who caused the initial problems.
