A man has been warned he could face jail after admitting hare coursing charges at an Angus farm.
Colin Stewart appeared at Forfar Sheriff Court on Tuesday, facing charges of hunting brown hares with dogs near Kirriemuir.
Stewart, who appeared from custody, admitted the animal offences at Ladywell Farm, formerly known as Wester Logie Farm, on a number of dates this year.
He further admitted the offence was committed while on bail.
Co-accused Raymond Higgins and a 16-year-old deny the charges and Colin Stewart will be sentenced on the outcome of their trial.
The 31-year-old’s defence agent said his client was due to marry soon and feared for his job.
Raymond Higgins, 45, Summerhill Road; and the co-accused deny deliberately hunting brown hare with three dogs.
Both men were bailed with the special condition that they do not dispose of or destroy any dogs involved in the case.
Hunting hares carries a maximum six-month maximum sentence under summary complaint.
