Ferret Master Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hi, Just watched it... It was amazing! A fantastic documentary on a sport that I knew virtually nothing about but now fully understand and love!!! It was a brilliant programe which was not done by anti's rather the opposite in fact it was done by people that love the sport of hare coursing! It showed the massive conservation aspects it has on the overall hare population compaed to just wiping them out in large culls. A coursed hare nearly always escapes unless it is sickly or old. They do not get points for killing the hare but for how much they make it turn. No bbc anti ****! It didn't seem to like the shooting aspect of it though and mainly showed wounded shot hares. But I suppose with a dog you get a clean kill or a free hare. Best documentary for fieldsports in a long time FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
