pegasus bridge Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 i took a call at half five tonight from the police asking me if i was out shooting on bit of land i lamp on in the winter (not called in for a couple of months as ive not been lamping since the crop got up), apparently someone had called in because a 'group of lads and two girls with dogs and air rifles' had parked up and gone onto the land, they called to check if it was me before they despatched anyone, nice touch i thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thats a rather sensible policeman and a bit of local knowledge taking precedence over standard procedure = worth a patback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 While some disagree with "Logging in before going out shooting" this post shows that there can be an advantage of doing so! Well done to the police for thinking about contacting you (As a known local shooter) about the situation before acting on the "information received"!
