Lure Coursing is a performance event developed in the early 70's by Lyle Gillette and other California
sighthound fanciers who hunted jackrabbits in the open field, which risked the harm caused by barbed
wire fencing. They invented lure coursing as a safer, more controlled sport for sighthounds that would
recreate the physical requirements of open field coursing, allowing them to continue testing the functions
and abilities of their sighthounds. The hounds chase plastic bags on a course laid out to simulate escaping game.
