Good shot? Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 What on earth do these complainers think happens to every wild animal that dies. Sone thing eats it. I wish I had put my trail cam out on a dead calf found last year in an isolated spot. Saw it disappear bit by bit over a week or so by Bagers and Fox. We found clean leg bones and jaw bone and skull etc scattered over hundreds of yards away and absolutely nothing left at the carcase site. They would love to see a cuddly badger digging in. NOT.

ShootingEgg Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I don't really understand how seeing what really happens means that they should complain. And what are they complaining about, a fox badger crow etc eating to stay alive in a dead animal which is always going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I despair at times, to think of just how far people are removed from real life. Or is it the fact they know, but just don’t want to see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Funny as this is, it appears that the complaints come from only 3 users on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I had a similar thing on FB, I had posted a pic of me with some cuts of venison [hind leg] I had just prepared and mentioned that this free range, organic and wild meat would soon be featured in our menu. One vegan lady was highly indignant, claiming that the deer should be sterilised and not culled, a quick look at her profile revealed a number of carnivorous pets and her love of Harris tweed, I pointed out that without livestock farming there wouldn't be wool, or cat food, Its amazing that people don't make a connection to their own life, same with the just stop oil protesters driving to their next protest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Its a total waste of time complaining about the BBC i complained about Countryfile and i had to resend my complaints over 5 months as they didn't get back to me , then said they couldn't find them so i watched the episodes again sent them dates ,titles and times of the errors ,They finally agreed with me and said they would pass them on to the Countryfile team , Its a total waste of time as they police themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nature and it's a nature program, do they not watch things about Africa when it comes to nature My first thought was did they complain then watch something on the Serengeti straight after, I don't think they like the idea of this happening here in Britain. Yet I saw something the other day asking for deer carcasses for the reintroduction of Eagles, what would they think 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Same event as an earlier post of mine, this last weekend found a dead sheep half eaten and will probably be gone more or less this weekend. Could have moved It to a better position to lie in wait with the rifle for a couple of evenings but currently not able to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 I remember shooting a fox and putting it in a hedge bottom going back a few days later it had been pulled out and something had started to eat it , Why watch a nature programme if you dont want to see nature in its real form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
