Preventing Poaching In The Uk


Recommended Posts

 

Pmsl - That's what i love about this site, some helmet puts up an emotive post such as that, as a first post too and everyone bite's. Are we so starved of subject matter that we rise?

I'd be very surprised if he comes back, not because of his replies but because he never had any intention too. Only to cause shit and go!

 

I could not see his welcome post,or did i miss it?you must admit the banter was good fun

Yes mate, the banter is good fun, as long as it stays like that. ;)

'Positive vote function'... Do you mean your 'like this' button??

I'll see what can be done. ;)

[, so what game is left is munched away so its not worth bothering ] i am sure plenty of trappers,terrier men etc would love the pest control

[and management for wildlife stops]why would it not revert to the natural order of things

[Cover crops get ploughed in, ] why would they be needed

[Hedgerows get lost] why would the hedgerows not just revert to nature the strongest surviving

[Biodiversity gets f****d ]the biodiversity would establish it's self

[A Woodsman knows which goose lays the golden egg. Perhaps thats why you spell it different to the rest of us.]woodman (no s) is a metaphor username because i am a carpenter.

 

 

Without wanting to drag up the debate again. . . . .

 

I'd have to agree with TF in that one of the best things about large sporting estates, is that generally they have a consistent management policy in place, which promotes bio diversity, and improves habitat for all creatures.

 

Odd little examples such as - on the estate I used to keeper, the song bird population was amazing, mainly due to the fact that predators (i.e squirrels etc) were controlled and many many tons of wheat was fed out of hoppers / the spinner etc during winter, when the native birds often struggle.

 

The acres of cover crops etc, which were mixed crops, provided a real haven for insect life etc.

 

Some places would obviously still practice these things. but for the majority of places, as soon as they were economically unviable they would stop.

 

And most importantly, my retired 65 year old father and his spaniel, would have very little to do with his winter if they stopped game shooting!

Hi,

 

I am a Design student at Loughborough University and I am designing a product that will be used to give landowners and Gamekeepers in the UK more security against poachers. I just have a couple of questions that I would like to ask that will help me significantly with the research. It would be great to get some feedback from you! Thanks

 

-How does poaching occur on your land?

-What do you find to be the best defense against Poachers?

 

 

 

Welcome to The Hunting Life.

After 7 pages of answers to your question did you learn anything ?

Also, did you over estimate or under estimate the I.Q. level of the average British poacher, bare in mind that those who probably do a lot of poaching wouldn't come on here telling all ?

Right Design Student. YOU have given us nothing except a question. We have given YOU, I'll admit, a kind of rigmarole answer. Now what exactly is this design project that is going to stop poaching, ANSWER PLEASE.

Neil Cooney. This person is an absolute looney. How the hell can you ask a question like that anyway. Is he/she developing the ultimate drone, an underground telescope, the complete Loughborough Uni as spies or what?? Oh? maybe a new line in International dogs without Border conflicts and complete Airport security, Hell, this could go global even as far as China. Do they have poachers over there, Do they really know the meaning of the word, POACHER. Somehow I think not. I'll just kep doing what I do and the family and friends are more than happy.

Thanks Jok,

Sorry for not being so up to date with this. Frankly I didn't think this would get any response at all, so cheers guys for all the comments. It's actually provided me with some pretty good insights into how people feel on the subject of poaching.

 

In answer to your question Jok, I'm actually in the research phase at the moment so I don't have a physical product idea yet, but I'll keep you all posted on any developments (Not that any of you are at all that interested).

      Hi!
      I am looking to collect some game feathers from local shoots (Oxfordshire) for crafting purposes.
      I know eBay and other sites sell them but not in the quantity I need.
      Can anyone point me in the right direction?
      I am willing to go and pick them up.
      Many Thanks!

      I found. Two dead poults near two different drinkers.  There was a little bit of blood on a feeder near on of them. Both show no signs of be predated upon  no sign of disease. No discharge nothing the waters where cleaned two days ago but these are the first dead birds I have found in the pen. Usually I'd take them to the vet to get checked but the boss doesn't wanna do that  so are there any other signs that could point to a disease ect ??

      Hello



      My name is Paul, i am 20 years old and i am from Grimsby in Lincolnshire.



      I have recently had an interview for a Gamekeeping Apprenticeship at Bishop Burton college in Yorkshire and I have been offered a place so long as i can find employment but being in the north east Lincolnshire area Gamekeepers seem to be few and far between, i have contacted the major local estate (brocklesby estate which is owned by the Earl of Yarborough) and some smaller estates ran by farmers and the only replies i seem to be getting are "we aren't looking to employ anyone else" which is fair enough but also rather disappointing but hey, what can you do.



      I am posting here to see if there are any people out there that may know someone that could take me on or actually take me on themselves in or around the Grimsby area?(30 mile radius)



      I have experience in:



      - organised shoots as I was a beater at my local shoot (no gamekeeper, it is ran by volunteers)



      - pest control as I often shoot pigeons and rabbits for the local farmer.



      - Handling rifles and shotguns





      I can drive so transport is no problem. I am looking to work within a 25-30 mile radius of Grimsby.



      The employer has a possibility of gaining a £1500 grant if they take me on which is provided by the college (the government have the final say however as it goes through them + Terms and conditions apply)



      I am willing to do trial runs



      I can do voluntary work to gain experience.



      If there is anyone out there that will be able to help me it would be more than appreciated.



      If anyone has any offers or information then please contact me via my email - Pldiplock@gmail.com

      This is one of the latest films i did for angus moorland group. We tried to show in the film the education behind gamekeeping and the young people that want to become gamekeepers and what drives them. Let me know what you think. Very excited to be making more of these throughout the year.
