bruno22rf Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Not for me I'm afraid, far too many animals being "mauled" before escaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I see no difference between this and hare coursing which is illegal under the Hunting Act 2004. It should be banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliedog Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Probably always will be a bit divisive, not sure why anybody would feel the need to show it off on a public channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Organised coursing, done properly with a judge on horseback, a slipper to release the two competing hounds and hares driven into the coursing field by a line of beaters was a fine spectacle and a grand day out.

But this is not in the wild, those birds are not hunting to feed themselves - they are hunting for the pleasure of the owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flicked through the film,,,,, lots of whooping and hollering of great excitement and jollity. I thought it was OTT with the 'pleasure of the owners' !!! If it was one bloke, sorry, person, with one eagle being filmed by one camera person, it would have been better, IMHO. Without all the whooping and hollering of course. More of an insight type of video ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy this kind of thing then crack on, personally I find it cruel and totally unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you doing participating on a field sports forum? 9 of the 18 posts on here by 14 contributors contain negative feedback regarding the subject matter. so by your reasoning more than 60% of the forum are closet antis'🙄 OR,60 plus % have some hunting ethics👍 if the Hares had 32 grams of number 5 shot at them and the Deer 50 grains of .224 (other calibres are available) no-one would have said a word to knock it.

To be fair, each to their own, my gripe is why film it and put it on social media, some things (like this) best kept under the radar in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I feel the need to question another members loyalty to field sports I will start another thread and not troll this one.
