GUEST,Liam Collins 'Innocent Hare' What does 'relope' mean? (99* d) RE: 'Innocent Hare' What does 'relope' mean? 09 Jun 11


A point worth mentioning might be the distinction between "hunting" and "coursing" hares, which are two distinct "sports".
The hare is "hunted" by scent with a pack of dogs called beagles which can take hours - as per the song "The Innocent Hare".
"Coursing" is a series of short competitive high speed hunts by sight, each competition with pair of dogs called greyhounds - as per the song "Master McGrath".
Both sports are still popular in Ireland.
