snoopdog 1,256 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 i dont hunt for sport for food or if asked i dont like to run a hare this time of year but if i needed food i would i dont really hunt fox but would kill cubs if i was asked there pest usally i dont hunt fox i cant eat it if i had any pups comeing on i would run them to bring them on but it does my head in when people say me dog got 3 out of 3 today [in the summer]hardly a challenge for a dog of any sort of ability for starters i wouldnt run a hare with a seasoned dog ..it proves nothing ...UNLESS it was a pest control job ..which would never happen to me anyway because i dont do pest control ..but if thats the job you have took on then that job has to be done ......the only other reason is what i said a page back ...to fetch a young dog on ..it wont learn to run a hare on the back of a rabbit .. ..........and confidence is a great thing to enter into any young dogs mind ....i.e an easy hare ...or two ..pre ban off course ..some things are better not said on the net ...but i challenge any man who has run hare dogs or young hare dogs to say they havent ..lets not all pretend that we do everthing by the book of seasons ...resect your quarry ...deffernetly .....but respect your dog more ....

Rocks 77 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I would and do hunt almost year round. I am talking a month off for the prey to establish terriroey and staart breeding then I will hunt females and pups only till fall, Then everything but then again I am asked to eleminate by the livestock owners. As far as hare I have young pups to start for next year and like to let them catch a few easy ones to get the confidence up. I do not hunt bunnies. I will say that I moved to this area about 10 months ago and was suprised at the need for pretador control. I started hunting yotes and now have about ten different farms looking for fox control aswell. They sure kill alot of chickens and ducks aswell as cats. Quote Link to post

inan 841 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 It does not suprise me the amount the amount iof negative comments.You see i always found land owners and gamekeepers to despise lurchers and held the owners of such dogs with even more disregard.Your comments of nesting pheasants kinda makes me think your one of the latter.Now when your finished with that bucket pass it to me please Yes I really despise lurchers and their owners ,thats why Ive kept them for 40 years, you brainless twat! ps Ive got permission that Ive had for years given to me by Keepers and Farmers ,because I try to act in a decent manner when I'm hunting.if there are those among land owners who despise lurcher owners perhaps they have seen the likes of you in action.

I must have been entering my dogs wrong all these years,,whats wrong with putting them on a September hare if they are young dogs? Or giving them a couple of doubled up runs ,some fellas let a pup slip in on a course when an older dog has taken the sting out of a jack,any of these methods do not involve running pregnant or nursing does.As to what other people do when out hunting with dogs I prefer to act as my conscience dictates ,not as others do ,Ive seen a line of blokes on the marshes near me walking up hares in July ,then letting all their dogs go at once to catch the hare in long grass ,before the jack has had a chance to get into gear ,does that make it acceptable because others do it?I dont want to pop at you ,but you say its the first hare you have seen ,so perhaps you are not the most qualified person to lead the way on this post.
