al4x Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 apart from...Foxes only come in one type. They don't have seasons. You don't eat them (generally) You sound like a perfect DSC1 candidate you could apply that to wildfowl or game shooting where you can turn up it seems not having used a shotgun before if the syndicate I was on on saturday is anything to go by. This is the safety is not what you want to hear when beating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 i would have a quite word with your FLO, if he has done it once and got away with it then you can bet he will do it again. even if you have a word with him it will not stop him as it sounds like hes an 'at all costs' type shooter who thinks he can get away with anything.

Paddy Galore! Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 there are a lot of rumours to it rather than first hand facts, unless you've seen it with your eyes I'd not get involved as telling plod stories you've heard can come back to bite you if they're not true or there is no evidence. FEO's won't read someone the riot act on the basis of a phone call as lets face it it could be someone just out for vengeance and to try and loose them their ticket this is my main concern, NO EVIDENCE, just to clarify, the chap was in the gun shop boasting about it to the shop owner in front of 3 other customers. Maybe a word of warning is all that's required, i don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) in that case really most gunshop owners would have called him a penis to his face though could be the type living in fantasy land trying to talk the talk and just not realising how much bull they're talking Edited January 18, 2010 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Probably full of it based on that, gunshops and rifle ranges attract some very odd people of that there is no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 That was one of the days I had in mind when I typed that reply - weirdo's at a running day shooting static targets for 6 hours for example Not to mention ignoring a damsel in distress and preferring to discuss 'jump to lands' or 'neck tension' or some other old tosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the fact of life he will make a booboo soemwhere along the line and drop himself in the kack anyway. Its then you can have your moment, at the present even if you did report it you would get told after trying to get across a complicated story,- right then where's the evidence?

Paddy Galore! Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm not worried about getting a bad name for myself, i'm not in the habit of stitching people up. What troubled me was he seemed to think it was the smartest thing he'd done since learning to lift the lid before taking a pee in the toilet. If he'd shown one iota of remorse or guilt [or even just kept his big mouth shut] then i wouldn't have put this thread on here. I'm not naive enough to believe this doesn't happen anywhere else, but i do believe whoever else does this kind of thing is at least smart enough not to boast about it. Like you say, he may well drop himself in the kack at a later date, my concern is what will he be shooting next and what with? I haven't reported this and i'm not likely to, what i will do is speak to a few mates and try and persuade them that it's not in their best interest to have him come along in future. I might just post his name and address so you guys can send him some special "truffles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Forget the Deer Act. I think the Animal Welfare Act 2006 applies here. Unnecessary cruelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
