dusk2dawn Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Just heard on local Invicta radio that three men are to be prosecuted for "hunting" rabbits just off the Isle of Sheppy (be a bit wet lol) has anyone heard anymore about this, it seems to be breaking news.

Cranfield Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 They could have been on private land. Its surprising how many wildfowlers and rabbiters see marshland and waterside derelict factory land around the Isle of Sheppey and assume it has public access (despite the high fences). I do know that the Landowners there are very diligent regarding "trespass". No doubt we will hear some more in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I would agree with Cranfield although it pains me Unless you have been to the Isle you have no idea how bad it is. You will see numbers that are beyond counting and on our two visits we had to pack up after 3 hours as there was no room left in our motors. When approaching a Sheppy farmer for permission to remove rabbits they will laugh and say yes without fail knowing full well that you will leave before making a dent in the population. Saying that, if these bods was poaching then they deserve what they get for being too stupid to ask for permission LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusk2dawn Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Here you go mate. http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/article/...rticle_id=50070 Interesting, it doesnt make it clear wether it was armed trespass or trespass in pursuit of game. Were they feretting,shooting or coursing? D2D Edited October 31, 2008 by dusk2dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
