activeviii Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 the last few years i have taken a lot of pigeon shooters out on land but after I had a similar thing last year after taking pigeon shooters out. the farmer was a bit suspicious so he phoned to ask about a lad saying i said to ask farmer if he could shoot the land. hence the reason i will not take anyone out anymore. im very reluctant now to take people out. i only take those that i have got to known and trust.

Scully Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 does anyone else read the thread title in the style of " whose been eating my porridge?" It's not really a problem around here as everyone practically knows everyone else,and we just give each other a wave and head off somewhere else.It only ever becomes a problem when you take someone out without telling the landowner,and then that person sees this as an invite to go anytime,and then take someone else with them.Before long the farmers got a load of people on his land he's never even met before. You have to make it plain they can only go when accompanied by you or with the consent of the landowner. The only time I would get annoyed(and have done)is when it happens on land I actually lease to shoot over,but in these cases the landowner always makes it plain to tose concerned that they are trespassing. We sometimes bump into ferreters from the West coast(where there are no rabbits)who the landowner has given permission to,and as we don't lease that particular piece of land then we have no business telling them to 'get orf moy laaand',and usually go over for the craic.Sometimes leads to another invite.

stevies400 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 i can not see a fac holder risking his ticket just carnt iv bin and have also taken people on my land and never thought for a minute that they wood do this steve could it be empty case of lads you went out with in the pass by any chance iv found shell caseing inside air vents on car they do go all over place just a thought I have never taken anyone with a HMR to my permission. I have a good idea who it is. And when they go down next and my mate blocks them in with his old landy they better be ready for some! I have read all the posts people have put, some very constructive and some people making a joke out of it! Its not a joke at all! My permission holder is a good friend of mine who keeps live stock on his land he is not pleased to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Why not just say who it is? If he's a scumbag he deserves to be outed, if not he can defend himself, we are all supposed to be adults so if we are behaving like children and sneaking onto others land everyone should be made aware of it to shame them into stopping this!

fenboy Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I can understand your anger under the circumstances ,i can also understand others taking the P,I think that comes from you mud slinging at all the people you have been good enough to take out before, I would guess that all are probably innocent and it would be much more likely that your land has been visited by poachers, how do you inspect every inch of your permission to be able to say the cases were not there a few days before ?.

stevies400 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 The empty casings are placed at certain places around my permission where I sit and wait near warrens and resting points. So either the poachers think just like me or have been shown by me! I went out last night for 5hrs and saw next to nothing. Even the long range big old bunnies wasn't out. I may be getting paranoid now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I would have thought this would be a pretty serious thread on the basis that I can't imagine anyone being happy if there permission had been visited by poachers, let alone people the OP was good enough to take there. Why is it over half the replies are people taking the P and trying to be funny? There's a time and a place for everything and it seems this basic rule in life is missing for too many of our members. Whether the poachers are people from the forum or just chancers deserves the same concern doesn't it? I know a member on here who also took some toe rags from here to his land, and they also decided to go go back uninvited. The difference in his case is the farmer was not as reasonable and kicked him of the land too! Now the old boy has lost his permission so can't go shooting. I bet you comedians are the first to jump on the bandwagon of free shooting offers, I wonder how many of you will get invites being on a forum laughing at a despicable act such as this......

Dirty Harry Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Word of warning. Don't start accusing people unless you have some good evidence. I would suggest that hmr cases are not enough and you should tread carefully. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair comment and obviously an opinion you have which I have no qualms with. It's a far cry from the comments mocking something that is a serious matter. There is an Amusement section where people can joke all they like and I'm a regular visitor to that section, but let's not forget that the majority on here own potentially lethal weapons and I hope that we all have a serious side to us too.

Scully Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have to agree with artschool here.Four pages of whining about something the OP can't prove?If you suspect poachers then the landowner should inform the police.If you suspect someone else then confront them,but I don't see what is to be achieved(or what the OP hopes to achieve)by coming on a public forum with insinuations about someone you suspect has shot on your permission without permission.Did you make it plain to the guest(?) you took onto the land that they weren't entitled to go in your absence?If not,then why not?Is it possible they were under the impression they had permission,and after reading your post are too embarrassed to come forward?Just ask them.Then move on.

For my part - and probably most of the other irreverent replies, the reason for the quips was the title but no indication of where "my permission" is. The omission almost invited a query but some of us did it in a way that we hoped might be taken as a light hearted hint about adding his location to his profile.
