ShootingEgg Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Did you have to gnaw it off ? Pretty impressive if he gnawed through the snare. Edited July 21, 2016 by ShootingEgg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Wouldn't it mean they were trespassing to discover 69% of traps caught none target species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Did you have to gnaw it off ? No but i had to lay there upside down as id fell forward down a bit of a bank.So all my weight was on the snare which was attacked to a little tree trunk.Had to wriggle my foot out of my welly but was stuck for a good 20 minutes trying to take the weight off.Bloody poachers.

I think they said 69% of snares caught non target species.... how would you know that? They don't know, they just either exaggerate and/or make the numbers up! On the basis that if they repeat the lies enough times they will eventually be accepted as the truth!.............. Typical dishonest anti tactic! Similar to the WWT and RSPB exaggerated report on the danger to humans and animals of lead shot! In that case science and the truth showed them up for what they are............anti shooting liars!

scotslad Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Totally agree with panoma above. I know there is plenty ways to spend ur money but any game shooters really shuld be members of GWCT, its there scientific fact that stands up to scrunity and can't be questioned. Without them the science would not be carried out and Basc, Ca, Ngo/SGA would have no figures to argue with, most of there figures are peer reviewed so will stand up to any critism unlike most of the anti propaganda lies and mistruths They are a charity and rely on donations to keep funding this research, wihut them shooting would be in a far worse position.
