Was aways going to end up like this, the unsavoury characters that came into coursing have made it so, driving the land, no respect for hare or dog for that matter, very sad.

Two things - 1, all they ever talk about is lamping out of a motor and call it hare coursing.

 

2 - but I can still go out in brewing season and gut shoot as many as I like with a shotgun ? Or fly my bird at it so it stabs it do death in the guts? 
 

 

Cool.

Interesting thread nice to see dogs working with guns. I do a lot of shooting now and the next lurcher will be hopefully doing a lot shooting wise.

Had an old long netting partner whose collie lurcher was used for several unusual jobs. He was the only dog I've ever seen that would hunt rabbits at night, drive them into the long net, not touch them, and then go searching for more. He could jump hedges like a horse. Lots of dogs will jump fences and gates, not so many can work out hedges.

His really unusual job was to act as a spittoon though. Eddie, my mate, smoked a pipe and when indoors, (including the pub) he would spit the contents of his gob onto the dog's back. The dog didn't seem to mind. When it came to its favourite area of grass it would roll on its back to get rid of the irritation. The pipe used to bother me because he was forever lighting it at night with an old petrol lighter which was like a f****n flame thrower. It lit up the countryside for miles. I was forever moaning about it and he was forever telling me I worried too much. Eddie's lurcher could retrieve birds shot at night. Really useful when they dropped into tangled undergrowth or were runners.

A spittoon... Best second job on this thread so far

LACS have already targeted fishermen in the UK, the noose is slowly tightening sadly.

Its a joke five month for hare coursing. When you can shot them or buid houses all over the land they live on.

Watched a programme about how five lads kicked and stamped on two twenty year olds that much that the girl died, 3 got 14-15 year and 2 got 4-5 , one a year later got a year knocked off
