Hare Coursing? How Do They Get The Hares?

[Cleanspade 3,322]

its also worth remembering that where there was coursing there was allways a good population of hares.

in organised hunting the land was managed to encourage wildlife (hares) where keepered. and then there would be beaters set up to drive hares toward the coursing fields. unorganised coursing you would just tend to walk up hares with your dogs hope this goes some way to answer

thanks alot buddy

i was always under the impression that the hares were gathered up from local barber shops and released for a weekends sport? so yous are telling me my daddy lied to me over the years cant believe it, now am wondering if he was the first man to get 5 outa 5

On a serious note, I talked to a keeper who worked on Kinmount estate where the Scottish coursing was held, and he told me they would bring Hares over from Ireland to release into the local population, said it stopped as much in breeding and made the Hares stronger.

Dont know if this was true, he could have been talking shit, but I suppose it was feasible.
