COMPETITION UNDERWAY

[ChrisJones 7,973]

I accept that it's just for fun and I have no issue with it.

 

However I've moddied on this site for nearly 5 years. Only today I've removed a post on night shot gamebirds, a thread that's been hijacked by someone disagreeing with shot hares, and open references to poaching. To think that everyone understands is pretty naive.

 

I'd like to think that everyone will play fair but experience tells me otherwise.

 

Good luck with the comp but anything that turns it into a slanging match and/or legal mine field, will be deleted.

 

Well said i mean who would cheat at this!?!?! i think people will stick within legality if they dont they dont get points anyway.

You be surprised. I know a gentlemen who's had his pictures stolen, from another forum, and printed in a book, by someone else! How's that for the ultimate rip off?

 

There is nothing to stop people taking pictures from the internet and claiming them to be their's, nothing to stop photoshop, no one has even suggested adding he date and time feature to the pictures to make sure they were taken within the competition time frame.

 

I've got plenty of personal pics that I could slowly dribble into the competition, as I'm sure many others have, and to think that it could never happen, or won't happen, is dream talk. It has happened before and people have left forums over it.

 

Fact is hunters hunt and keyboard warriors cheat and lie about it.

 

Good luck with the comp. I'll even pin the thread when it gets going!

Before you all go popping off Seagulls.

 

Read the General License wording on the shooting of Gulls Extremely Carefully I think you'll find that very few, indeed, if any of you have the justification for shooting them.

 

Seagulls and their control are the preserve of professional pest controllers who have explored every other avenue of control.

 

There was a case about 18 months back, where a chap shot a Seagull with an Airgun because it was a nuisance. He was prosecuted successfully.

I haven't looked in here for a while, and I apologise for being pissed. but what Chris says is spot on. Sometimeses we need to think on

maggies and especialy jay's should be the highest point scorer. unless you plug em out the bedroom window or drive by . jay's are one of the hardest birds to get under ye belt with an airgun..
