    . IIRC It was by way of response to the nature of the reply. But It was some time back and I can't be bothered to search back for the specific post. What the eye doesn't see and all that. Technically the act is the prima facie evidence. Whether it needs or has a witness other than the portraiture of the sad act is not a point I am qualified to discuss. The laws surrounding poaching go back as far as the 11th century and their function and effect are manned and varied. I'm sure some bright and budding law student could write an whole doctoral thesis on the subject. I think h

    No and I don't get off on torturing animals, when you leave traps like that the dogs are the victims more than the people. No and I don't get off on torturing animals, when you leave traps like that the dogs are the victims more than the people. Law abiding responsible owners have no need to worry. I guess that' s the rub. Consequence of actions and all that. Am I responsible for the actions of the non law abiding owner? I'm not sure about the laws but if someone was walking their dog on a footpath near your property and the dog ran off and received an injury due to your

    Nooooo! Theft is a crime against the person which involves taking something that a person has ownership over. Poaching is the act of taking game from private property. Rabbits are not even game, so the offence you're committing by taking a rabbit from somewhere you haven't got permission is completely different again... Damn! Just when you thought that you had them. Well done Malt. I concede. But you have to admit it was a decent run. Atb

    Bye Mark. Till we meet again Let me know when the next get together is and I'll post it up on here for you.
  6. Greek Phil
    Hooray! Thank you! I rest my case your honour. Admittedly the robbing old ladys example was a bit strong but need must as they say.

    Not a huge number then. Still It was a Thursday night. True I could do as you suggest. But if you hold views and opinions why not express them. Admittedly, some get blown out of proportion, but is that entirely my fault ? Even you have bitten in the past at what was in reality perfectly reasonable posts. Having I suspect been wound up by 3rd parties and sent on your way to try and do the deed. No harm done and no offence taken on my part. I've never said poachers were in the same league as rapists. But poaching is theft, yes?

    Clever, failing., thick as shit...?? Tut tut Mark. You have me all wrong. Just a point of order. How many topics f interest do you HEAR on an internet forum that is solely derived from the written word? I have no interest in targets. Whether your paranoia allows you to believe that or not is of no concern. Bring back Snuff I say.

    How was the get together last night. I hope a few more turned out. Watching the door must have got a bit tiresome after a few hours. Shame Snuff couldn't make it. Nothing like getting bitter and twisted is there Mark? Twat indeed. Give my regards to our mutual friend. Getting back to the subject. What's your view on poachers. be they one for the pot merchants or be they clear you out in a night operations?
  11. Greek Phil
    Ok so where is the differentiation between the two? The offer made to Simon is open to you. Wheres the country mile? "The only distinction between a poacher and the man with permission is what side the fence he shoots from .I would say that each and every one of us has at some time stretched the boundary a bit [not you of course GP but all normal ,morally sound field sport fanatics as frequent this site]" There more of a difference than you make out and you would have others believe. Since when did poaching become morally sound? Be it practised by field sports fanatics or the depraved.
  12. Greek Phil
    I'll decline your offer, i think the members can clearly differentiate between the two "offences" without my interpretation..... Oh well. I'm sure in the case of some you are correct. for the terminally ignorant ..................well i suppose where there's life there's hope but its fast diminishing.

    Do you get many flies and ants ripped apart by piles of barbed wire in the grass around you then? Sorry I'm being deliberately obtuse. If they weren't doing what they orn't they wouldn't be any where near the wire.

    Sounds as if you'll not be wanting to buy any wellies for a while. I've never seen a copy of Sporting Shooter so wouldn't know what you had to do to win the coat. At least the long nights loclked into that screen have reaped some rewards. As I have no call to wander the land at night with a dog at heal and get more than enough time both day and night with a gun in my hand.Spending a few hours discussing differences of opinion is simply another way of exercising the parts that the day job doesn't reach. In short its just entertainment whilst I wait for something more important to occupy my
  15. Greek Phil
    Simon Give it a try. You know you want to. If nothing else it will help others understand. Look at it as a philosophical exercise for the terminally ignorant. The choice is yours. I understand if you decide to decline the offer.

    In your own mind, maybe. The only people who really care are people like yourself & the antis. The rest of the public couldn't give a shit... Unfortunately for the petty criminals its not just me and the antis, more and more of the public do give a shit..... If that wasn't the case would the TV companies have bothered to make a series about wildlife crimes? With more programs planned. Granted the current series is abysmal but then its not made for the likes of you or I. if thats your idea of ammo for your argument,then your a bigger arsehole than i first thought.every pos

    Same here. Brilliant invention. We don't do the 6" off the ground. We stay at 12" All gates get the BW treatment. If I had my way we'd string it every where. I'm never in a rush to clear up the old stuff either. Those that need to know, know where it is. you are seriously the biggest troll on this site.what a complete c**t you are.i hope you trip over a bit barbed wire and break your f*****g neck He's only confirming exactly what i thought..............my instincts are good!!!.... It that why I saw a thread which inferred you where gay? And did you not under anot

Are you by any chance a grumpy old man that can't stand it when the youngsters play their music too loud but has his tv on full blast so he can hear it? Errrr........No. Love a bit of thrash. Rarely have time to watch TV. Unless itts the weather forecast and progs on the natural environment. Do you enjoy pulling

    My advice is take the provided option of retraining. Get some qualification that are actually demanded by potential employers whilst you can.That the army will pay you to do and pay for the courses. There' s no call for a arms instructor, map reading instructor, range safety officer in the line of work that your looking to make a start in. Now if you'd said chainsaw, pesticide, herbicide, tractor driving, fishery or forestry management or even a better still a land management degree.......... Good luck and if you want a serious talk PM me.

    for someone with a stated location as "Up ma ain arse". I'd have a guess that you would know far more about the subject (talking out ya arse) then I ever would. I do bud,, and believe me,, I`ve seldom came across anyone as prolific at it , as you ATB Thanks for confirming you know more about talking out ya arse than I do. I try to follow the principle of Never argue with a man that knows, they will beat you with experience. Atb to you too.

    Poaching is always an emotive subject, its gone on for hundreds of years and there is a huge difference between the one for pot type poacher and those who have no respect for the land, the countryside or its quarry. But i think to compare a poacher to somebody who steals bikes off children, robs old ladies etc is clearly overdramitising the situation............ Thieving has gone on since man first made then owned a stone axe or a wooden club. Try in to justify the act as some kind of primeval right, or claiming its just the poor down trodden and now disenfranchised peasant asserti

    Back to the erroneous name calling again are we. Theres no one here named Christian Sutton, Davie. Never has been. But you stick with it if you feel so attached to it. If what Stu's posts is right, makes sense, is the truth, or shows a liar to be what he is why wouldn't side with him. To do other wise would be completely stupid. I have no need for a gang, and have never been the subject of bullying. That you feel others have such a need or have suffered such a treatment says a great deal about how you . A classic Freudian slip if ever there was one. Were you abused as a child, being il
