http://www.xmission.com/~gargoyle/clubinfo.htm

Extractions: "Three sighthounds spring from the slip, running, turning, and straining every muscle to catch an elusive lure as enthusiastically as their ancestors did to catch live game generations ago. It is a breathtaking spectacle - beautiful, healthy hounds exerting themselves to the limit in an activity similar to the one for which they were bred." Formed in 1988, the USRCC is organized to practice and endorse the time-honored canine events of lure coursing and racing in the Utah area. All events are held in conjunction with the appropriate national sanctioning bodies and run in strict accordance with their rules. Wagering of any kind is strictly forbidden. We invite you to join us at our monthly meeting or to come watch one of the upcoming racing or coursing events. Dates and locations can be obtained from the events section of the site, or you can contact club secretary Amy Balthrop for more information about club membership or to request a sample issue of our newsletter, Sightings.

Dr Lewis H. Thomas. Judged by Alun Michael's socalled golden thread of cruelty and utility, there can be no incontrovertible evidence why coursing should be banned while shooting and fishing are to remain unrestricted.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,59-543391,00.html

Extractions: Sir, The Minister for Rural Affairs, Alun Michael, in his statement last month to the House (Hansard, December 3, col 757), stated specifically: We have no intention whatsoever of placing restrictions on the sports of angling and shooting. Hare coursing clearly falls into the same category as shooting or fishing, which are recreational sports. But, as Professor Roger Scruton has pointed out in the journal Philosophy (vol 77, 2002), coursing differs in one fundamental and morally relevant respect. It is a managed adaptation of a natural form of predation, which the quarry avoids by instinct. In contrast, shooting and fishing use technology that neutralises the quarrys innate means of defence. Pursuit by hounds is entirely natural for the hare. It is a situation for which it is supremely well adapted. Speed, acceleration, all-round vision and manoeuvrability all ensure that well over 90 per cent of coursed hares escape unharmed.

Ofc-article Valeska Borzoi
Introduction to official NACA and NOFCA hunting, followed by a description of a hypothetical hunt.Category Recreation Outdoors Hunting coursingcoursing IN THE REAL FIELD Copyright 1999 Rey McGehee Valeska Borzoi Falco(Valeska Wilder Shores of Love) coursing in Wyoming.
http://personal.palouse.net/valeska/ofc-article.htm

Extractions: Valeska Borzoi For people interested in learning more about open field coursing, following is some information about what attending a hunt is like, followed by a description of a hypothetical hunt. When preparing for OFC the first thing to consider is conditioning of the hound and the handler. Hunts can last all day, and you will probably walk at least 5 miles and possibly over 10 miles. The hound must walk this far and also run one or two times. Courses very greatly; some are short, while some can go well over a mile. As a handler, you carry everything you might need for yourself and your hound during the day; water, first aid supplies, slip leads, blankets, and any extra clothes and food you might want. Often you won't return to your car until the hunt is over. For Borzoi you need to bring a lot of water and if it's hot you'll need even more. We carry between 1 qt. to 1/2 gallon per dog. Both open field organizations (NACA and NOFCA) have a 2 hound per handler limit. You can't put your hounds back in the car right after they run, and if there are too many hounds per handler, holding and slipping dogs can become a logistical nightmare. Travel time to the hunts can be tiring for both hounds and handlers. Unless you are lucky enough to live close, travel can take as much as 2 days. There can be hounds from several states at a hunt. Dogs usually sleep all day. At a hunt, there is the travel time to the event, and also the dog is awake all day during the event. There isn't opportunity to rest between courses as there is at a lure coursing event.
