boyo 1,398 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Why is it that coursing lads seem to think the sun shines out of a hares ass there only big rabbits. the jury is out on that Based on outward appearances you might think that rodents and lagomorphs are closely related. They do have a similar appearance, they exist in similar ecological niches, they are vegetarian, and they have continuously growing incisors, but they are fundamentally different. Mammalogists now think that lagomorphs are more closely related to ungulates (the hoofed mammals) than to rodents. Rabbit young are born naked and rather helpless (altricial). Hares bear young that are furred and able to move about shortly after birth plus you cant pull a rabbit out of the cheeks of your ass .lol. Quote Link to post

craigluckyjihad 244 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Verdict is majority say lamped hares are easier. Not easy just easier? Quote Link to post

riohog 5,621 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Lamping Hares?.Best left to the daytime in my opinion.True test of a Lurcher your correct there about daytime hares being the best test of a dog but what about us lot who do not keep saluki crosses and walk feilds for them during the daytime what about lamping dogs should you not slip your dog on a hare on the lamp because its not a true test for your dog. i bet you have slipped your dog on a hare on a plough feild were the hare cannot run its best but somehow it is ok because its "daytime" it all depends on the dogs you run if you had a pure whippet or a half cross collie are they going to catch a daytime hare with any consistance? i think lamping hares would be spot for that. just because there lamped dont mean they just roll over and die i have seen quite a few 5 min courses on the lamp and some that of ended quicker than other just like daytime. they are mostly going to be a fractionly easier because its dark and the fact there is a dazzler in there face but as a said they dont just roll over and die... 5 min courses on the lamp eh? thats a long time in the beam or the headlights 2 Quote Link to post
FUJI 16,279 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 As above. Just wondering what people's opinions are. I seen to find hares are caught easier at night. (All preban Ofcourse) A blind man can walk a Fen and slip a dog when it pulls on the leash when it sees a hare but the same team would be as much use as a glass eye when it came to lamping lol..so just depends who you ask really?

Mate; if you have seen "quite a few 5 min courses on the lamp", then I suggest you look at your watch for 5 minutes and see how long that actualy is.....or get better dogs ! Cheers. what if your dogs had a hard night before it meets its first hare are they easy then charts?do you slip do you not , knowing your dog might get a tanking or not ? ive seen some good runs at night have you? I've never seen a dog run a hare for five minutes on the lamp !! Five minutes would most certainly be considered a "grueller" during the day ! If a dog runs a hare for five minutes on the lamp, it should not be considered a lamping dog. If you think it's OK to run a hare for five minutes on the lamp, well.............. Cheers. because YOU havent seen it means it has never happended. it was not any of my dogs in question but a pup being entered to the game, i never said it was ok to run a hare for 5 mins on the lamp but what can you do ? i cant make the pup catch and i wasnt going to switch the lamp of as it isnt my dog running. the pup was learning its game but then again chart he should of known it was going to be a 5 min course just by looking at the hare should of found one of those 1 minute hares. 1 Quote Link to post
