If you want Hares i reckon Suffolk is the place to be as we have hundreds just on our 600 acres alone, you are more likely to see a hare than a rabbit most of the time!! Not sure what it is like in other parts of the country? What about Norfolk WB?

Mind you we dont shoot many until they get a bit over populated then might have to do a bit of thinning out to get the numbers back under control!

 

Good shooting WB, enjoy :D

Yo farmerguy.22. These two came from near Eye. We saw well over twenty and shot 4 in total because it's better to leave them for the time being. All the cover is a bit green at the moment. We saw half a dozen rabbits all day. We have lost a lot of water in the ponds and the quack quacks have left. North Norfolk is brim full of hares.After the turn of the year we'd expect 300 plus or so at the hare days.The shoots are having to take more after the demise of coursing.
