inan 841 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 ive run hares all over the country and killed alot the best hares ive ran are without a doubt fen the only place that comes close to them are salisbury plains this thread is a joke get off your computers and run fen hares then come back share your thoughts with us all I found it the other way round leec & inan, out of the few dogs that ive seen ran in both places the fen dogs had the harder time running S P or the fields around there, I'm not saying they didn't do a good job just found it harder. The fens are a lot better to watch a dog run as the hares are not over the hill and out of sight and you can get better runs. Yes that was one thing about the fens you could normally see all the course,SP ,s rolling fields meant you were sometimes running nearly as fast as the dog trying to see the run.! Link to post
inan 841 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 by the way a lot of the dogs ran on S P that seen were bred from fen dogs or had a bit in them. You herd about Knightellington Esmail running on S P Mush? Supposed to have done some damage on there? (but not as much as the army before someone says it! ) Was on the plain early one morning,[we used to travel overnight],started walking the fields ,there were 3 of us ,all ready to slip.then I thought I heard a tractor ,told my mates ,,they told me to stop trashing myself,little later on heard it again ,then we all heard it ,and getting louder,suddenly a bloody tank comes over the brow of a hill , we turned around and started in the other direction,I can still hear the comment fromthe tank,"clear the area,MO D land etc",Put the wind up me ,we didnt go back for 3 weeks.It was allways warm ,like Newmarket ,and 6 mile Bottom ,it must be boiling point now I reckon.

baz 463 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 i cant belive this thread has gone on for so long ..there is nothing to debate about..fen hares in winter take some stopping regulary,they are the best , for me to get to the fens and back is 550 ish mile round trip, im prepared to travel that to test my dogs,if some one knows better hares, let us all know so we can have a run on them, and hopefully they will be closer to home for me Link to post

baz 463 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 there all decent littlespots around the a1, thats were we warm the dogs up in the early season untill the fens are wet enough to run on, i like it over that way, its a bit closer than the fens , over hull there are some very decent hares around sunken island and withernsea ...you need a sharpish dog ( i think) to kill hares in numbers regular.... yes joe, we get plenty of hassle round boston, i got locked up a couple of times down there last season Link to post
