He’s not a bad lad, he enjoys the banter, as I do.

Hes a challenge, but I won’t give up on him ! LOL !

Your grew looks a nice strong bitch, I like the “whizz bangers”, far more exciting seeing a dog take a hare quickly than being dragged around a field for ten minutes !

( He won’t be able to resist biting now ) ! LOL ! 
Cheers.

i have to say it’s a nice looking mutt chart ideal lamper

  Lamping green hares must be rewarding in some shape or form  for some , I like to make them lamp shy so thers no reward for the number hunters x

Know plenty of lads that have done that with foxes because of the rifle brigade, pointless now with Thermal.

That’s good  as dogmandont stated it was a thing pre thermal. More craft needed  on a Wiley creature that’s had a lesson or two

If they breed up too much the farmers will just shoot most of them anyway so might as well give the dogs a run.

Over here mate they shoot them 2 stop people having a run  mr Stuart would be appalled

I reckon anyone who has ever ran lurchers daytime and night time and say they have never lamped an hare are kidding themselves. I admit to lamping quite a few in the past its not as though they were just lobbed in a dyke or left on the field. I never struggled to find a buyer for them tbh and later year's when i got to know lads with BOP one would snatch my hands off for hare's that had not been shot. The only regret i have is years ago a patch of farmland near me that's more or less surrounded by houses a chemical works a council tip and a recycling plant it was not uncommon  to count 40 plus hare's on the lamp though the land daytime was horrendous for good courses with lots of hedge's fences and a lane that went through it. I lamped the hares on this land nearly to extinction as well as other lads who did as well as the farmer and other shooter who hunted them. A walk around that same land now you would struggle to see one.

I don't like shooting anything really but I think there is something special about hares and they deserve at least a sporting chance to outrun or outwit the dogs. Spotlight shooting them is such a waste.

Don't forget the 30 seconds per minute stopwatches etc they use to time the runs.
