Hare Hunters Harried By Hunt Sabs
From north to south, the last few months have seen many meets of hare-hunting beagle and basset packs sabbed.
Between August and October or November these packs are ‘leveret hunting’ – a secretive pre-season practice where young hounds are entered into the pack and trained against young hares, akin to the better known ‘cubbing’ season carried out by fox hunts.
