moonlighter 1,165 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 hi all. Gutted 2 hares today and both were pregnant does. not something i like doing really as i class hares as sport and not really pest controll like rabbits are. This seems to be getting earlier each year, which is a shame as the hunting season seems to be getting shorter and shorter Anyone else noticed this in other parts of the uk? cheers.
