As I understand it, Hare is legal quarry, but whether it's suited as airgun quarry is the subject of some debate.

As a Hare is somewhat bigger than a rabbit a sub 12 fpe air rifle may lack the power for humane dispatch.

Others will argue that within a short enough distance, a humane kill is reasonably assured & will take the shot.

I take the view that, as a species in decline, unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, leave them well alone & concentrate on proper pests & vermin.
