!!!!!!More fool you sir if you have waited 3 years and not chased it up !The majority of our local force is superb !
Best joke I've heard for a long while. Still waiting, the long dog men have probably died of old age, it's 3 years since call. I prefer to leave ours alone, they can't run dogs if different hares keep getting up.
Is this not something you would do ?
Don’t read papers there full of mindless stuff for mindless plebs JMHO
The reason most were against it was if a dog catches the hare it pummels it to death rather than killing it quickly. It is also another thing to injure the dog. Unfortunately most don’t distinguish between coursing to rules and hare poachers.
best to wait till the shooting season proper imho. its very hard to sex and shoot accurately and although hares are common in places nationally there aint many .
Indeed. I've seen first-hand the damage these filth do to land and property. A minority still see coursing as a 'noble sport', but the overwhelming majority of them fall firmly into the 'scum' camp
Extremely difficult, I would say a sally is slightly bigger/deeper heavier than a jack, but its a long time ago, almost impossible to know in the field. Young or old???
under said circumstances i have just shot the hares . They are a specialist in nipping off the growing bud. Replants are the one time i will really hit the Hares hard out of the game shooting season
Lucky you!! In our area, try finding someone to chase up, we did try, not enough staff. Mate has same problems, they sent a lady PSO. Our Last lot got shifted by a couple of visitors/workers, up from the East end.
4 shot certainly aint required , they die just fine with 410 and 6 in lead ( so long as you dont shoot them in the rear).
They can be killed with an air pistol if you're close enough I'm sure. However I was a guest for several years (They get shot with rifles now) and the rules were 4 shot and that's what I used. On one occasion 1 of the guns used 6's and was sent home when he wounded 2 in a row that had to be finished by other guns!
just saying its a myth they need big shot , what they need is an accurate shot and not rear ended. you need to see the chest and the head and not at silly ranges that's about it in my experience
I have shot plenty on trials with 6 shot too and you're obviously 100% correct that at close range and in the head end they go over no problem. The 4 shot was for assurance as not all were shot running straight towards or across us. 4's certainly dealt with them.
