LOL I bet you're thinking of using that 17magnum and all Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Lamping to my mind doesn't mean Shooting them Merely shining a lamp on them If thats what you mean, then I hope thats all cleared up And yes John, that wee inexistent calibre dod pop into my mind Trust you to remember that :laugh: SS Quote Link to post
dicehorn 38 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have cattle on two of the larger of my permissions, and often lamp them at night, Er........that is, you mean the permissions Not with you DH Sorry SS didn't think my post was putting myself forward to shoot on your land. Have access to over 20K acres - would not really have time to slip over to Wales. Actually to most of the forum members lamping means the taking of foxes and rabbits at night with a lamp. In my book looking at something else living is simply 'shining a light on them'. Just a different word choice I suppose. Peter Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I call that a score draw, 1-1 ,ye've both misunderstood each others posts "not with you" as in not understanding what you're talking about - I presume. Quote Link to post

You are quite right John - just me being light heartedly mischievous - I should get out more and that is the problem, I have a lady with organic farm pestering me to reduce some of the 40 + red hinds but just today dont fancy sitting in a hedge facing a 25 mile hour wind with a chill factor of 0c Peter Quote Link to post
markbivvy 6 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 had this happen on one of my shoots a couple of months back,cow shot through the neck with a CROSSBOW. had to have it put down, never got anyone for it. Quote Link to post
Deker 3,450 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Calm Down.... Calm Down.... Calm Down all...bottom line is, I will be very surprised if the owner allows shooting to continue on this land...which is a very pleasant and productive piece for rabbit, fox and deer.....so looks like I may have a little free time..... so wether you be in Somerset, Devon, Essex, Gloucestershire, etc, etc (or closer to Berkshire) I'm available to help.....

cbw 4 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Deker, You are welcome here and on any of my permissions anytime you fancy!!! I know you have family in this area but the wife and I would make you welcome! CBW Quote Link to post
Guest WILF Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Now I am no "rifle" enthusiast, but it sounds to me like a bad combination of.........Long Range is everything........Shooting at eyes..............complete fecking idiot. A bad combination I think most would agree. Thankfully, 99% of shooters are very responsable people.............but sadly, as in everything, the ye-ha,s feck it up for every one. Quote Link to post

Peter Misunderstood is about right I meant by "Not with you DH" that I didn't understand what you meant If I was just lamping, to me thats shining a lamp over ground, lamping and shooting something, different matter, maybe its because I don't shoot something on every occasion, blank nights etc Just me, I'm not one for conformity, makes sense to me Well call it crossed wires Lamp wires that is Deker, Sorry to hear that, you never know he may need your services in future, he knows where to call SS Quote Link to post
hairybull 3 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Not good mate, hope the farmer sees the light and realises you are no threat. Cattle camped up at night can confuse some people- eyes close to the grounds when they are laying down. BUt also could have been poachers, which even if he bans you could happen again Quote Link to post
cyclonebri1 8 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I agree that it could be poachers, and the crossbow is a hot favourite, what actually killed the beast does need to be determined for the sake of all involved. The one saving grace is that most farmers I've met are happier to have one trusted gun on thier land than none at all, if no one has shooting rights and the land is not "policed" it can become a free for all. Knowing there may be a guy with a gun about is a fair deterrant. Hope your man can realise that Dekker Quote Link to post
