WARNING deer poachers strike

[al4x]

unless they got on some forestry comission land they can be pretty unforgiving to deer

well from your post if you can take out fox at 310yards mate why not get a bid closer and put a round or two in to there engine bay when they are away from it. then ring the law

mmmm as usual I wonder how many on here really have much of an idea of the subject. It's always my uncles, step brothers, second cousin saw this that and the bottom of an empty bottle of moonshine!

 

We have large numbers of deer all over the eastern counties and apart from the odd (substantiated tale) very little poaching that you'd know about. Don't forget trespass with a firearm is a CRIMINAL offence!

Exactly.

 

People moan more about these isolated instances rather the damage an authorised person can do to a deer population deemed as damaging crops.

 

Sounds much more exciting.

Being a person who shoots deer legally, all I can see from this post is that people are concerned about their own sport and fed up that other people are taking it.

Poaching has always gone on, the difference between hunting and poaching is who owns the land and how much people are willing to pay.

 

 

There is more to it than the above. Poachers who kill on a large scale are out for profit, irresepctive of respect for game and humane killing. Hunters are out for sport and part of the sporting ethic is respect for game, and, importantly, respect for and for the rights of fellow hunters.

 

In addition to the horror felt at mass murderers who go on a shooting spree with their fully licenced rifles and guns, and the sympathy for the relatives of victims, I feel utter contempt for their disregard of the impact their actions have on fellow shooters. They must know that as they take aim, the rights of legal shooters are going to get hit as well.

 

I feel the same about poachers, because they just don't give a **** about the game, you and me.

You are lucky to get 50p a pound, in the jacket from a game dealer for venison.

Its not exactly profitable for the considerable risks involved in armed trespass.

I'm surprised it appears so rife

80p to £1 a lb on roe and fallow just down the road from where these were being poached nice little earner for a few hours work/sport to them .
