fruity Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi all Walking up through my permission earlier to check a few things and top the the bait station up, had a bit of a surprise when i came around the corner on the track to the top woods and pond to see mum,dad and the kids out in the sunshine . The boar started to approach me soon as he seen me, grunting to alert the rest. I managed a few pics with the phone and dropped down onto the bottom track out the way.

Just walked straight onto his permission waving flags, shouting , and shinning torches around. He packed up and went home once they'd gone to find his 4x4 had the Windows smashed , lucky enough the farmhouse cctv just covered the end of the drive and a number plate of a vehicle so there confident of finding them Edited April 7, 2015 by fruity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you retaliate they have won I a way, and you possibly end up with criminal damage on your record. So he's leaving it to the police to sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I had no less than 11 run across the road in front of me near Speech a week or so ago at 12.30 am. Followed immediately by the biggest Lurcher I've ever seen. Someone up to no good I would imagine. I've seen verge damage and signs of bulb rooting in some of the woods in these parts so I wouldn't be surprised if they are spreading out slowly but surely.

Cross bows seem to to be the weapon of choice at the moment FM around the location you mentioned and then run them down with dogs. Silent and cheap presumably The wife and I were walking behind the house over the bank hol and there was a sow dead on the side the track with an arrow through her eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
