The hills that used to be covered with sheep are bare now. Fishing was ruined by the EU and nobody wears tweed anymore The goats will end up on a plate no doubt, its no different to driving them to the abattoir, except somebody is prepared to fly in, pay a taxi to take them to a hotel stay a few nights and then probably pay an extortionate amount to do the abatoir's job for them The hotel benefits it creates jobs and everybody wins. How can a Scottish MP be so thick as not to realise, this is the real world, shooting is an industry in a rural economy. You've never smelt a feral mountain billy goat 🐐 if you think any of it was going on a plate 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales of this massive goat were discounted as a young child’s over active imagination until we smelt them the next day and saw the bloody things!

Retsdon Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 But this outrage over a perfectly normal thing like shooting a feral goat seems to be a peculiarly British phenomenon. They don't have this kind of nonsense on the continent, or even in Ireland come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure you will put a good article together, im guessing it will only make shooting publications though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getthegat Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yep, usual "Nanny" state stuff. "Gruff" replies from all the "Billy" no mates out there. Most just "trip trapping" around without a clue. Need to "hoof" off and let the bullets fly. Anyone reading this got a little beard? "goaty" of course. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Saw Charlie Jacobi from "the fieldsports channel" interviewed without bias, by Simon Mc Coy on the news yesterday, giving a very good, factual account of the why and wherefore of the matter.......but I doubt the loonies wanted to hear it!

An article from a shooter and one that is educated and will put the point across well is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
