Spotlighters


Recommended Posts

Further to the edit of my shooting available post I'd just like to add that I've just been out and found the remains of a roe fawn and doe that were living in a roadside field, plus the about 15 rabbits just lying on the road! Sorry to disappoint by removing the offer but it seems even more justified now.

On what basis?

 

I take it your term of 'spotlighters' refers to poaching/unlawful shooters without permission?

 

Surely if this is the case then having known shooters with correct permission from yourself which further act as a deterrent against the problem above?

I'm intrigued as to who you were pointing your finger at.

I'm trying not to point the finger at anyone as it might just be a coincidence but my father wasn't too pleased with the livestock being disturbed so much- and as it's ultimately his decision as he owns and runs the place- being only 19 I can't really argue with him too much!

Did you give anyone the address/location of your land?

After giving my adress out to a few people who seemed genuinely up for a bit of shooting I haven't heard back from I've spent the last 3 nights chasing spotlighters off the place! Seeing how as I have never had to do this before I'm assuming it's not a coincidence- doesn't seem to make much sense though considering I'd be more than happy to accompany anyone out! Anyway due to the risk to livestock etc etc I've decded to withdraw the offer, apologies to all those that were genuinely interested in coming out but it's a case of a few spoiling it for the rest of us.

 

So you gave the address to them, I presume you contacted them by phone if so please collect up the animal cadavers as the bullets will still be in them and these can be cross referenced with the persons firearms.

The animal bodies have been handed over to the local vet for a post mortem on the advice of the local police who seem to think thst dogs were involved in some way? Anyway I'll keep the board updated to any progress.

 

p.s whats the deal with the "it works!" thing?

i think it,s probably got something to do with " so called travellers " on way to and from appelby horse fair. even more so that he now says that " dogs were involved " as there has been similar cases in northumberland/ cumbria
