Lamping rabbits with lurchers – fast runs

Andy Hayes has two missions: the Fieldsports Nation member wants a great night out in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, catching rabbits with his lurchers – and he wants to show the positive, egal side of lurcher work. Too often it is thought of as poaching. He shows what’s to love about it.

Rabbit shooting, ferreting and catching rabbits with dogs are legal activities in line with UK animal welfare laws. They are designed to remove rabbits, cute but a major pest, from agricultural land, where they dig up ground causing hazards to livestock and they damage crops. Both ferreting and shooting are more selective than the alternative, poisoning rabbits. Rabbit hunting is also social, involving groups of ferret owners or shooters, who go out at weekends and have little or no representation in other media. Plus rabbit meat is lean, healthy and local sourced. Give it a try. We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel: ▶ Shoot responsibly ▶ Respect the quarry ▶ Ensure a humane, clean and quick kill Take part in nature.
