Browning Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 why sud i have to worry about some ****** kids wandering across my land?? BS10g, Unfortunately this is the way of the world. Every firearm owner should take necessary vigilance and care. You can never be too careful in my opinion. You never know who may be behind that bush. It doesn't matter wether they are there legally or not....they would still be dead, and you would be locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatingisbest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 If you know he is not supposed to be there i would ask the golf course owners if you can take it to the police. Try and take pics of him shooting illegally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdowns hunter Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I was shooting on my golf course last year and saw some people walking across the fairway, I couldnt beleive my eyes the cheeky beggars were playing golf. Do you think i should have reported them :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 way wrong thing to do, not only is it against the law to record a conversation wihtout the other persons consent, but also putting yourself at risk!!!!!! i would say it still depends on the type of (poacher) you are dealing with. if he is a fac holder he wont want no old bill, so a word in his ear would do it. he wont cut up ruff as he knows his permits are up the spout if he does. if on the other hand he is a out and out villain. then you play it there way. if you dont want to put yourself at risk then leave it to plod who do very little to late. my dealings with the worst type of vermin are on this forum some where. if its just one man taking the odd rabbit is it such a big deal.

SNAKEBITE Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 if its just one man taking the odd rabbit is it such a big deal. eerrrrrr, YES. If I break into your house and steal a £20 note out of your wallet is it o.k. if you still have a few notes left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coupe312 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 is the area sighed up? some people asume any worn foot route is a public right of way? its a hard one. my personal approach would be to ask them to leave it private property. giving a full explination if they refuse. insist you are not joking this is a private area of land and not a right of way. and please leave. try talking if that does not work, remove them from the said area. even if just to prove a point i've assuse its the same a most private properitys , shops, pubs and car park. A minuim of three separate attemps should be made before force is used. It is a hard one to deal with. if that feels too threatening take a photo of them .... nothing upsets people more. if they ask what you want it for the appropret authorities. keep logs and time. sorry about spelling i'm **** at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not quite sure what you are trying to say with the last sentance of your reply but what I was trying to say was that it doesn't matter that it is only the odd rabbit. The bloke has over stepped the mark by commiting armed tresspass. There can be no excuses or grey areas. You are stating that you don't mind other people commiting a crime as long as it is not to you. I know in the real world things should be put into perspective but at the moment we are essentially fighting to justify our sport and should take the moral high ground if it means we can protect it. But don't get me wrong I agree with you that you should have every right to shoot a burglar that has entered your property. Hope you understand what I am trying to say and no offence meant.

bindi Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Its Simple, bring in the plods, without delay. thats what thye're paid to do, and I'm sure they'd find it a damn site more interesting that catching up on the paperwork!!!

Dave-G Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 :thumbs: It's too late to prove anything so just send him a letter stating that if he trespass's again while armed you will photograph him with nightvision equipent,and send it to plod. This displays that you know who he is - and that you are giving him a shot across his bows rather than dropping him in it without warning. The ball is then in his court.

bindi Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 And chances are he knows who you are too, and your car tyres get let down, and windows broken, and you and your family risk being harrassed. Do you think for a moment he will read your kind letter and think....aahhh I'd better stop being a naughty boy then......well he's more likely to think """I 'll show the B@STARD"" Just report it anonymously through the plod........its what they get paid to do.....by us tax payers......

markbivvy Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) You are stating that you don't mind other people commiting a crime as long as it is not to you. if i have said this anywhere, Ive said it wrong. what i mean is , is it worth a war for the odd bunny or bird. you cant rely on the cops turning out when you need them. we have had scum trapped in a barn and the old bill never turned out. on another farm we caught 3 paddy,s filling drums from the diesel tanks, kept them there for 2 hours waiting for the old bill, who let them go later for lack of evidence.if i see a anyone taking the odd bit of fur or feather on land they should not be on, i will tell them face to face, as i dont see this type of person as a big threat. farm robbers who try to pass them selfs of as poachers are a different thing, as are the ****** that drive over acres of freshly drilled fields killing anything they can put a dog on , these types are very hard to deal with. no offence taken by the way.
