joeshaw08 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Went out "pigeon shooting" earlier, nothing about but I found this instead! First ever hare, very pleased with him. Not had a hare before, do I need to leave it to hang? And for how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldwanderer Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 yeah, they're big *******, especially when you're used to bunnys! I thiught hares were counted as game, to be honest I don't know what the rules are regarding shooting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeshaw08 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 You can shoot them all year round according to BASC. I think there are certain areas where there arent many hares, where this time of the year it's probably frowned upon but there are plenty around where I am so it isn't a problem.

mark_mjs93 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 is that its tounge sticking out in the photo lol good on you mate... i wouldnt know much about eating hare, but i would say hang it if you want, or just eat it like rabbit, as for the game thing well.... hare (if i remember rightly, someone may need to clear this up a bit) are considered game but there is no particular "season" for them, as he said, there are parts of the uk were there arent many, so around this time of year it is frowned upon, but it isnt illegal... shooting hare, causes contreversy as some people refuse to shoot them, and some prefer to, now to be honest i dont shoot them, if i was asked to by a farmer i might say yes, but im still not sure, watching hares "boxing" is pretty cool, so some people say they wont shoot them, some say they will, others say they are game and have a season, so they dnt know the season, and this makes them say "we dont shoot them" now ill get a quote from a website about the hare shooting law thing, and ill post it just to let you know... Happy Shooting Mark (nice hare mate....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
