Dekers Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) There is no closed season for hares, but some restrictions MAY apply, and they cannot be sold during the breeding season from March to July. Hares are game under the Game Act and so cannot be shot or taken on Sundays and Christmas Day. I'm pretty sure they cannot be taken at night either! And this is what the * refered to next to Hare in the original question.... * Hares cannot be sold from Mar 1 to July 31. If the land you shoot hares on is classed as moorland or unenclosed land and your permission on that land is through the landowner or occupier then a close season and other restrictions may legally apply on that land. Contact BASC for more information. Edited April 4, 2010 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
