Whitester Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 We are mentioning poachers but the deer were left where they were shot. I can understand a poacher loosing the odd deer in the darkness but why would you shoot and leave 15??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case then they are a bit sick in the head and need their license revoked , if indeed they have one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were arrested on Friday on suspicion of offences under the Deer Act. They have been released under investigation while inquiries continue. Someone as obviously shopped them, but it might be difficult to prosecute them without evidence, I can imagine the interview was full of “no comment” ……. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-45500517 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we are presuming they are the shooters and not just the handlers of the deer. As you say details are a little sketchy at this time, lets hope they get named and shamed, if found guilty.
