Preventing Poaching In The Uk


Recommended Posts

 

 

You just need someone on your shoot that doesn't mind giving the poacher a slap

you slap a poacher it would be returned ten fold many a keeper spent many a day in hospital for slapping the wrong poacher and many a keeper has lost a shoot for slapping a poacher my mate got beat up by a keeper took what he got the next time he got of his quad and eight of us stood in front of him,like i said before you wont get poachers you let a sensible hunter hunt your land and let him sort and trouble out

That's what I was referring to someone on your land who will sort it out

 

Most wise keepers will have someone like that

speaking from both sides of the law having been a gamekeeper whos estate prosecuted for poaching and having been prosecuted for poaching.....THL is NOT the place to get sound advice about this topic

Wild??? Pheasants??? Deer parks? Etc.   Big difference between poaching some bunnys etc and a lot of other stuff, some poaching does basically involve robbing someones stock, taking their assets et

 

We caught a car full few months ago just locked the gate and phoned the police

3 cars arrived within 10 mins

3 cars within 10 minutes, to protect a few scabby myxies looks like the geordie coppers have got their priorities in order
Its not just scabby rabbits its Hares its Deer its trespass possibly armed

 

Its Rural crime not saying the lads in the car were also thieves but in an area where there has been plenty of Farm thefts the police have a duty to respond

 

Plus they were beside our pens

Nothing wrong with looking after your own interests mate, and when it comes down to farm thefts well that's a different matter altogether

Look to African safari parks for advice some are doing well with keeping tabs on far more valuable game not many would be so brave for a brace of pheasants if there was a local armed ranger brigade with orders to shoot on sight there would still be a few animals lost but not many.

Big difference between a bird bred to be shot than a endangered species tho isn't there what a stupid post

Wouln't mind taking this geezer out for a little bit of sport. That might give he/she something to write about. :hmm: Cost him though. The beer round here is expensive and then there is the taxi fare, the overnight kennels and so on. Thought he might be interested :boogy:

I don't mind poaching for a bit sport to beet the keeper or for the pot to feed a mans children.

 

The thing is poaching has become a more commercial business where entire herds of deer are being targeted for the underground meat trade. This is what must be stopped and if the lad wants to invent something to help this very real problem then good on him.

This school boy has come up with an app, even if it isn't effective thanks for trying school boy as you have done alot more to help the problem then the trolls who are slamming another young lad who is trying to help.

 

If you haven't got anything proactive to say or do then don't mock others who are trying to help.

      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.
