norfolk dumpling Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Had a bunch try to disrupt us on Saturday. Had to get police after them as they verbally abused a young lass picking up with her mum. On the brighter side as they came screaming along a footpath we tend to avoid as it runs alongside another big shoot they push 2 big copies of partridges into our cover crop. The two guns backing towards the scum then shot 19 and 15 birds giving the scum a good view of our sport! This lot of scum are very active in Norfolk/Suffolk and I've seen the ring-leaders several times - quite upset my wife earlier this year when they staged a demo outside a local bookies against the Grand National. Anyone else had issues with this lot? Their leader live in Geldeston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Did smile when I read that the anti's actually pushed some game over the guns to shoot, should have offered them jobs as beaters in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Very nasty characters if they are hunt sabs. Be very careful, they know the law inside out, they will push and push to get a reaction then use video evidence to get you in court. Just put your guns in the slips and walk away, pack in for the day if need be. They are much more interested in giving hunts grief but will disrupt a shoot if they can on their days out. Luckily they tend not to come back to a shoot whereas they can plague a hunt all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSoanes Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 If it's the 2 I'm thinking of, did they follow you with a megaphone and video camera? Their always don't this,they are a right pain in the ****, **** all better to do with themselves than try and ruin everyone's day. When they used to follow our convoy of trucks and beaters wagon we would go to another part of the shoot that was away from the public roads.

norfolk dumpling Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think most people in this part of the world know who they are. I've encountered them 4/5 times in the last few years when out shooting. On Saturdays they have spotters on most roads in Sth Norfolk/Nth Suffolk and summon up forces very quickly. Got a load of abuse when roost shooting a couple of years ago - unlucky that the Waveney Harriers were on the estate at the same time. We finished with drives away from the main roads soon further disruption. As there was quite a few of them we think another shoot probably got their attentions later that day. Their favourite game is trying to disrupt hare shots on big estates - there are a few items on YouTube posted by this lot of scum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 We had an extremely upsetting encounter with an anti today. Our gunbus and beater's trailer were parked on a country lane opposite a row of cottages. A lady was stood in the doorway of her cottage filming us on her mobile and pretending to make calls. She gave us such a terrible gaze that I had to shield my eyes from her stare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaPower Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thankfully, I haven't seen much Anti-action up here in Cumbria. I have a question though: why on earth aren't these people just stumped by simple trespass laws? If you are having a shoot on a private estate or farm, how can they get anywhere near you? I'm aware of the 'right to roam' laws but that only covers around 8% of all land private estates and farmland are off limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadbreakfast Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Find we're they live and on the shoot day get someone to stand on there back garden, when they come out start filmimg them see how they like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 A lot of them are purely mental and look like they need sectioning. Why don't they pop down to their local chicken processing plant and give them hell instead. It's a lot worse there... squirming chickens being picked up by their feet and hung on hooks on a conveyor on the way to death... Sat in their own faeces for a long time giving them burns and stuff... But instead they mope about with a mega phone stopping more humane shooting happen.

At least it gives them an outing in the fresh air while they are waiting for their next dole payment. Also they can,t get the agro at the football matches so easily as the police are already there.

Westley Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Can I suggest that if you know who they are and where they live, that you post a couple of well built beaters, armed with camcorder, in a vehicle outside their property. As soon as they come out to play, start filming them. Make sure any vehicles used and registration numbers are recorded. Make sure your 'beaters' are in no way armed (including pocket knives) and are well instructed to AVOID confrontation, if at all possible. Record all of their movements and if they enter onto private land and it is feared that there may be an 'aggravated tresspass' ie:- disruption to a legal activity. Call for the Police and film EVERYTHING. Should the incident then go to Court, you will have all of the evidence that the Police require. If the Police fail to respond or are not helpful towards you, you may wish to take out a private injunction against those responsible.

I am not sure that "well built beaters" and "avoid confrontation" actually goes together, the implications in your advice seems evident to me. Also, I would not have thought the authorities would be that impressed with anyone sitting outside someone's house filming their movements in public places. Filming anyone on private property, where they have no right to be makes sense, but the suggestion to telephone the police immediately makes the most sense. I think we should ensure that we do not make ourselves as bad as the people we are complaining about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Personally I think Rob from the F&D did the job just right with managing an anti, her video footage later led to her prosecution, now awaiting sentence Here's the topic http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/274068-annoying-anti-woman/ Get a video camera and carry on doing what your legally entitled to do, don't let it get messy Here's the outcome http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/297067-singing-fox-lady-in-court/?fromsearch=1 Edited October 29, 2014 by Paul223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
