Pole Star Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) A friend up from England just told me of an incident they had a while ago while out punt gunning when they came back into the shore & they were met by the by the police because a member of the public had heard a very loud bang , saw lots of smoke & had thought a bomb had gone off . After having a friendly chat with the law another squad car then arrived with the armed response boys but I understand that this meeting was also a friendly one & the police were completely fascinated with the punt gun God love em , but alas it seems even punt gunners are not immune from a visit these days , what is the World coming too ! . Location has to remain a secret though , must have a go myself one day . sorry to disappoint you Fenboy but these chaps were not Italian & don't use pogo sticks Edited November 7, 2013 by Pole Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pole Star Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) if only it was that easy. If only anything was easy ! but that is the first time I have ever heard of an armed response unit being called out to a couple of punt gunners & it was nice to hear the police took great interest in the punt gun . Anyway when was the last time you saw south London druggies & bank robbers ect bothering to go punt gunning ? I wonder what that visit cost the tax payer Edited November 7, 2013 by Pole Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up at Dornoch at the moment, it was round this time of the year I saw them last year, then bump into them On the solway late feb. Much luck up at Dornoch?

fenboy Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Why would I want to go to Orkney ? , a little sad you feel the need to take the mickey about my little drain , it offers me some very good sport and there is not an Italian in sight ,I also get all the geese I need here thanks No doubt you would not like the shooting on any of my ground as you would have nothing at all to winge about . Oh and as for me looking at your profile polestar in your dreams mate , I like you also polestar , there is always room in my heart for the odd fruitcake they make the world a more interesting place so you keep taking the tablets and have a nice evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to come too Orkney well sadly its become the number one place for the numbers boys to come & bring decent goose shooters into disrepute & get Orkney in the news & show us all ( including you ) in a bad light ! perhaps these types don't visit your little drain & in which case I envy you & consider you very lucky . Anyway drink your coco & take your sleeping pills & toodle off to bed & don't forget Teddy & some time tomorrow I will post up some pics of what gentleman use too shoot geese with & if you would like to come to Orkney give me a call sonny & I will sort it for you . Take care Pole Star ps must rush as have too be up at 5am to check the wind so we can have a good morning on the geese pps if you ever make it up here my friend you will not need to bring your pogo stick because I will lend you a gun like the old wildfowling greats use to use Edited November 8, 2013 by Pole Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
