the hare is a great animal,agile and knows its land better than its prey,thats why i love to course them from oct-feb(now finished).and before everyone starts getting on my case i love to see the hare get away thats why i only let 1 dog at a time on them if he's better than my dog im glad i get the run if not then its in the pot!
@yuup83 - well, it's your right to say, and do, that of course - Ireland still differs from the UK when it comes to coursing. But for me; I take only pictures, leave only footprints, kill only time.
@ilganis - hello there ilganis. A good question: Brown Hares are not legally protected in the UK as they are also classified as game animals. It's more to do about what land they are found on and the rights and permissions of the landowner. I would love them to be protected as shooting is unregulated and their numbers have been reduced dramatically since the 19thC. They do not do the damage that rabbits can (potentially) do and really enhance the countryside through their presence in my opinion.
@zeeox - suffice to say though, since 2005, hare coursing has been illegal throughout the UK... so any 'hunting' has to be done in a 'humane' fashion, using a gun. Hunting for sport is a hangover of the ancient rights of the aristocracy in this country and I have no time for it. Similarly, the principle of the 'fair chase' in hunter-conservationists in the US I find equally abhorrent. All wildlife has to be 'managed' in little old UK it's true - but surely without pomp and frivolity? Cheers.
beautiful creatures...love them so much, I have several of them as tattoos!!Sacred animal of the Godess Estarte....Christianity changed Her to easter...and turned the hare into the insipped Easter Bunny...but the hare is a beautiful creature.Thankyou for the upload...much appreciated.
@99fruitbat - thanks for your comment, and for liking the video! Yes, there's definitely a feeling you get that are looking at a more ancient 'scene' when you encounter one, even if they running across a modern, 'mono-crop' field! I like their nomadic style, never making warrens and always on the move! One month to go before Mad March!

@XShadOBabeX - agreed! Maybe it's because they look more proportional, and less slouchy... like horses or big dogs. Or even Kangaroos! Thanks for commenting.
@zeeox I agree I had a lurcher and son had a whippet, and to let loose a dog at such close range would be very unsporting. I love hares far too much to have let my dogs loose on them. Hares are wise beasts, and i passed within a few feet of a hare with the dogs, and the hare stayed still as a statue, and the dogs didn't see him because of the grass and lack of movement..downwind must have been the reason these didn't bolt [and you were in a car?]
@Oakleaf700 - thanks for your comment. It's good when you get a glimpse of one that's lying low and hoping you can't see it (normally good enough for dogs on the same eye-line... but not us humans!). Yes, you are right: this is from a car, and presumably was downwind (I can't recall). Saying that, they weren't bothered passing by both sides of the car... and they certainly knew we were there as we had originally pulled up in the car next to them on the road.
@zeeox It was amazing seeing 'my' hare so close..there was a line of thick high grass/plants that prevented my Lurcher and whippet from seeing it, as we were downwind, and my height made me see it..his eye was beautiful, and had he moved an inch, or bolted, the dogs would have seen him as we were so close. I think it was a wise hare who knew enough to hold his nerve...yours probably knew a car meant no danger, but very rare..hares have been known race cars.. too many hares are hassled by dogs.
@mrcrazybest - of course they do, they're dogs. I think there are enough hares being chased to the point of exhaustion every 5 minutes in our countryside... even if it is by city dogs who aren't killing through coursing.
@zeeox I agree...lamping is unsporting as the animals freeze, and I have seen people slip too young and unfit pairs of dogs on hares [far too close to be fair law] luckily the hares ran faster, but to harrass them in this way is pointless. My son has hares at the place he works, and often in spring at tea break, the lads watch the hares frolicking and looning around. A lovely sight.
@leela194 - thanks for your comment - is this Edmonton, Canada or Edmonton, London? I'm guessing Canada so, in which case, it might be different behaviour for a different, more confident species. However, if this is London, then I stand corrected. Unless it is just around March you saw 4 or 5 of course: I've seen good numbers all together at that time of the year as they tend to go a bit bonkers at the beginning of the breeding season! Regards.
@zeeox - I grew up in Edmonton, Canada and I do recall seeing plenty of these, or a very similar looking breed, on the university campus. Maybe the proximity to a large tract of parkland meant the hares from there became accustomed to people, but it wasn't unusual to see several near to one another when I was there. But I do think that spring was the time I saw the majority of them; can't quite remember if that was not the case during other seasons.
this is so cool,hares are such awesome animals,they look and move quite different from rabbits and i never thought they were that big from a standing pose.thanks for uploading this man.
@JOLTuniverse18 - and thank you very much for your comment. I fully agree that it is quite surprising just how big they are when you see them out of the long grass. They almost look as big as Muntjac deer to me. As it happens, I learnt just the other day that some Irish hares have been naturally crossed with the Mountain hare and as a result are much smaller and lighter in colour... but I like my local ones as they are so different to rabbits - in behaviour, shape and look. Cheers again!
@zeeox , Ah , I have , thank you :-) It reminded me of my childhood watching hares through the window on a field opposite our villa & this vid was nice to recollect it .
In fact a composed an album of music inspired by the Hare to accompany a book my friend Wendy Andrew wrote, called "Lunar Moon Hare - A Magical Journey!".
You must have a really good camera, the quality is superb !!
@SONGSTICKS - thanks SONGSTICKS! From your channel, I can see that you do! However, I cannot see the Lunar Moon Hare song on your channel.. is it titled as something else?
The camera isn't that great in all honesty - a cheap and cheerful handheld jobby albeit with quite a good optical zoom. I am hoping to go HD in the new year but for now I have to make sure I'm quite close to the wildlife I film and hope that the sun's shining! Cheers.
I haven't got round to doing a Hare music vid yet, but I've made a start.
If you look at the "Hare Krishna" track I did, I have a brief shot of my Hare Painted Guitar, which was painted by Wendy Andrew as payment for the album for her book.I used this guitar for my "Chalice Waters" album. If you google "painting dreams" you'll find her website.
If you like Hares, you'll love her stuff The book is about the life of a Hare moving through the Pagan wheel of the year. It's a beautiful story.
Their eyes and brain are tuned to pick up movement rather than details and of course their straight ahead binocular vision is quite restricted. Stationery vehicles make great hides.
Studies have shown that their population is often much higher in areas where game shooting is common because the fox population is controlled - leverets (young hares) are easy food for foxes.
A freindly local gamekeeper showed me the best place to film hares after I'd been searching for miles for them.
@WildlifeInCloseUp - this is superb stuff, thanks. That all makes sense to me. Clearly, staying in cars to observe wildlife is a great thing and I've had some great encounters in 'mobile hides' over the years! And certainly some bird species can benefit by specific land management to aid grouse shooting, but I've never considered the benefits to other animals before. Blimey, looking after all the different and opposing interests in the British countryside is just so complicated!
@baberconnew - thanks for the comment! Yes, they're definitely cute animals. I think they'd be quite difficult to keep as pets though as they're normally quite edgy creatures - preferring to run when they're in trouble. Unlike rabbits, they don't have 'bolt-hole' mentality, so you'd need a big garden for them to run away when they feel scared! (1/2)
(2/2) And I'm not sure they'd like a hutch in the same way rabbits do as they don't dig holes underground. Perhaps they're best left off in the wild and enjoyed for the truly wild creatures that they are. :-) Regards.
@zeeox I think you're film is pretty incredible really, to get such a long piece of footage, they seem so tame!! I saw a hare only days ago, on it's own, although I have often seen a few together. It might sound strange, identical to a dog, a bit like a Doberman, I know a might not sound very romantic to compare too, but it is something I have observed often with Hares. It's the use of the back legs to propel themselves, Dobermans seem to do this more than a lot of other dogs!!
@baberconnew - that's a great piece of observation in my opinion! It's what looking at wildlife is all about: to enjoy just simply seeing things out and about and also to learn about what's going on. That's most strange to hear that they have something in common with a particular breed of dog - so maybe it's down to having similar physiologies! [1/2]
[2/2] Anyway, many thanks again for your comments. The more I think about it, I was very lucky. I have seen boxing hares a good few times but have never had such an encounter since. I noticed some new behaviour myself the other day: the way they lower their ears and hunch up their neck when they first notice you can see them - and then the spring off, (Doberman style!) as they realise you're getting too close! Pretty obvious I guess but I'd not really seen it properly, in the flesh as it were.
@ViperSRTnACR - Thanks very much! I'm glad you got the play on words!Just for once I put a little extra thought into an appropriate title for a video! :-)
I know! Here's hoping they weren't so careless around other, moving cars! Thanks for your comment! Nice festive avatar by the way - Happy Holidays to you!
I suppose you just have to be lucky. The area I got this clip from is no real quiet spot - lots of gamebird shooting going on all the time - so it's just a matter of going to places they frequent often and crossing your fingers! I guess march could be a good time to go out looking for footage as they're too busy going mad... so to speak! Good luck!
Great video! Hares are fabulous creatures and I had a similar encounter last year when one ran directly towards me and only stopped when about twenty feet away. After pausing for a while it ran off and hid behind a tree but its ears were so long they stuck out from the tree LOL.
Thanks Doubledig! Perhaps they're just not the most observant of animals! I don't think Muntjacs, say, would be that blind. ...Did those ears really show behind that tree though? ;-)
They must have pretty poor eyesight as it ran straight towards me and friends. I couldn't get over how large it was and I thought it was a Muntjac when I saw it from a distance. Yes, honestly the ears did stick out that much LOL.
Thanks flurfyred! Yes, it felt like a real privilege. It doesn't happen too often I guess, where a wild animal (or two!) allows you into its world for a bit and everything remains calm. I hope I (and you!) get another similar encounter soon!
