andy33 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Could i pose a question, Ive read a couple of threads on hare shooting and there seems to be an opinion that shooters dont particularly like shooting hares but would prefer to shoot diddys Is there a reason for this .

Ferret Master Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yes, hares aren't the scourge of the English countryside and don't have a tendency to trespass, steal, start fights and leave rubbish wherever they go. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markb Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi all, This might stir a few up but here go's, I read on a forum I don't think it was this one, were a chap had been asked to sort out a fox problem, which he succesfuly carried out, but he also came across hares and rabbits which he also shot, there was no mention in the post that he'd been told he could or couldn't shoot other pest's or game he came across. But I just thought that it wasn't on, as he was only there to sort out the fox/es won't shoot hares there aren't enough around here to warrant controlling them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Shooting hares (which are classed as ground game) without the permission of the person holding the shooting rights, constitutes poaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought, so I would think twice before making a post like that I supose it's best to think that he would have had permission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Kenny, although I know your post wasn't serious, when you have had the same amount of grief that my family and I have received from travellers, you'll probably tar them all with the same brush. If they appear to be decent, it's just a charade while they look for an opportunity to **** you over. If I totalled up the financial losses incurred on our farms due to ****** over the last 2 years, it would easily top £150,000 (somebody out there has a very shiny and expensive Claas telehandler with my name on it). Luckily most of it was insured, but it gives some substance to my absolute loathing of travellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytie Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Near Pershore we have an old MOD airfield that has current radar research units, as well as some satellite dishes that link up to a place in Cheltenham (you know the one). It is policed by armed units. We shoot near it, and guess what, there are loads of hares. They spread out from there beautifully. We have a severe traveller/*****/romany problem in this area, they keep buying land and making caravan parks. The local authority have used up all their legal budget trying to out them. It's a ******. ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The ****** have a very successful strategy for buying land: violence. A Leicestershire farmer made the news recently when he was forced to sell a few acres to a group of didds. They'd torched his vehicles, threatened him and made his life an abject misery until he relented and accepted their pittance of an offer.
