I met some lads the other day and they were bragging about using a pcp on munty really

I said have you ever killed one? They replied yes but they take loads of shots.

Unfortunately there is a percentage of society that are total and utter *******.

On one of the farms that I shoot , I used to reularly take rabbits that had .177 pellets either in the meat or under the pelt , it was the farmers brother in law that was taking pot shots with his chinese airgun , I bumped into him one day and spent half an hour explaining just how painful it must be for the rabbits and that they should always be head shots with a airgun , it seemed to work as after a while I stopped getting injured rabbits .

 

Their was no malice in the guy , just complete ignorance , and lack of thought about what he was doing.

 

If ever their was a good case to be made about airgun licensing and training , this was the man.

Did some work experience on an estate down south with an old keeper a hand full of years ago, the estate is surrounded by little roads which are not much used except by the estate staff the keeper told me he often found air rifle pellets in deer they shot on the estate, and on his mornings feeding up he would often find dead or wounded deer with crossbow bolts in them the little lanes being secluded enough for poachers to feel safe - Saw for myself that afternoon when helping butcher a deer - pellet lodged next to a rib at the back end of the rib cage.

 

Round here poaching is a problem, they travel from quite a way away for their "sport" and the police cant respond quick enough when they do respond, if the keepers approach them the poachers will threaten to burn their houses and barns down.. problem is the poachers know where the keepers live, and the keepers don't know who or where the poachers have come from.

Maybe the only solution to the poaching problem is to ring and obtain a crime number?

Eventually statistics should enable pressure to be bought in exposing the problem?

 

No statistics, No solution?

Just have to use the existing system?
