al4x Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 sounds more like kids or he has annoyed someone, you'd have to be starving to shoot most of the poults round here for food at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Put up a notice by the pen saying killing or wounding pheasants with an air rifle during an act of trespass probably counts as "Armed Trespass" and if cuaght, they could do time for it. The RSPCA would be only too pleased to have their scalps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 You see the problems but miss the points both about the law and those willing to prosecute it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Time to let one of those wildlife crime officers earn his corn Just a point of order; It's theft and criminal damage, not wildlife crime. The pheasants aren't wild until they've been released from the pen. Either way, there isn't much the police can or will do unless someone local knows who they are and gives their names. If it's anything like our area the police are run off their feet dealing with Facebook threats and petty domestics to have time to deal with real crime.
