Lab 10,979 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah im all for Partridge, Phesant, Grouse shooting ect but will Never support or condone the shooting of Hares. In fact id vote to ban it. Well I wouldn't have expected that from you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 hares need a close season of that im in no doubt, however telling someone what they can and can not do on there own land legally is a very slippery slope, the antis are very clever and this stuff if pushed to provoke the reaction its getting and thats on a hunting site so imagine how the bunny hugging public are swayed, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
francolin 449 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 a shot hare or fox for that matter is a disgrace,in my opinion it is disrespectfull to such fine animals,the slaughter of these large numbers is sickening,dont get why folk take pleasure in shooting big numbers of fox with rifles,sad,sorry for going off topic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R.A.W 1,987 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yer 100 in the bag but how many were shot and have ran off with the lead in them to die in pain days or even weeks later ??? This is what I find so wrong about banning hare coursing but ur allowed to go and take pot shots at them and even course them with a bird of prey. ?? Now that's f****d up but then again so is gay marriage it just shows how f****d up this contrary and the people running it are ! I'll disagree on the gay marriage bit .............it's 2014 ffs if two people want to tie the knot then let them crack on I say. I'm not a fan of the institution itself but two lesbians want to tie get wed then I'd be all for watching the wedding night shenanigans No mate its wrong and dirty What shooting hares or watching lesbians ?........

Now that's f****d up but then again so is gay marriage it just shows how f****d up this contrary and the people running it are ! Nowt wrong with flying them with birds of prey But shooting is nothing more than slaughter. They ruin it for themselves, killing that amount just reduces the hares available for next season and the seasons in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What if the reason they were shot is to deter poachers ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zigzag dan 784 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Shooting hares is for people without the brains to condition a running dog ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 This may be another thread in itself,I have quite a few friends who are into shooting. And when ever I bring up the benefits of running dogs as opposed to shooting the only argument they have is that they just like shooting (and of Course its legal) which is fair enough. Is there any argument to shooting over using dogs (on suitable quarry)? You can kill more with a rifle,but thats no advantage considering the amount of people wanting to hunt legally who cant due to lack of permission. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm not a fan of shooting hare's, nor a fan of shooting in general if i'm being honest and as GTE said in March too BUT FFS, the article is in a national newspaper and there is far more at stake..!

Born Hunter 17,639 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The has allways been hare drives Nothing new Part and parcel of the country side but in march ?? Useually sept after harvest time. Hare drives are usually in February GTE mate. Having them in September is new to me? A few of the more populated estates will shoot every Saturday of Feb often ending with a roost shoot for those that have the energy. I've heard of them selling the hares for charity and simply inviting all the beaters, farmers and mates etc that enjoy the hare shoots. March is traditionally late but it's not like there are leverets kicking about yet and maybe the shoot has their justifications for shooting a couple of weeks later than traditionally so? Like I said, there are hunts still killing foxes but typically hare shooters are the scum of the earth. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
