RaiderBoy 19 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 not if she dosent see you shooting and collecting it Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) no she couldent. say you shoot a rabbit and it hops up into the air and lands on someone elses land then its completel legal to go get it but you have to ask permission of the landowner to go onto there land and retireve it.

the Verminator 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 get a big grabber stick, one that can reach a long was. then you could reach over the fence and then grab it with out here even knowing. just a thought Quote Link to post

Sterry 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 i should think its best not to get into a confrontation by nto allowing yourself into that situation. some people dont like things dead falling in there garden. one of my neighbours has asked if i would shoot some rats in her garden from my bedroom window. 3 so far but they got the message/.

Guest Scuba1 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 If she does not like you shooting, she would say that you shot whatever while it was in her garden and you could be in all sorts of trouble. Not worth the hassle mate. ATB Michael Quote Link to post
Deker 3,455 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Fundamentally it's just the same as your ball landing in your neighbours garden. Just because it is your ball you have no right to enter your neighbours to collect it without permission. You commit the act of trespass if you do, trespass is basically a civil matter but is also potentially very complicated, and is different in the various countries of Great Britain!! Best answer in this situation is, avoid conflict with the neighbour!! Quote Link to post
jackinbox99 41 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) If its your neighbours land you cant get it without asking their permission. In my case, id either a ) sneak over and get it without them knowing. b ) leave it, and if they find it, they will assume their cat has just caught it. I find it all depends really on what your neighbours are like. One side of mine has an old couple who are old school. They are perfectly happy for me to shoot magpies etc... when they are over their garden as they are bird lovers and the magpies are ripping the young out of the nests and causing a nuisence atm. The other neighbours on my other side sh!t themselves when they saw me with an airgun the other day but then they are townies and not used to country stuff. This will make you laugh tho... my dad has fields backing onto his house, and the other year he shot a pheasant which was sitting on his hedge with a 410 shotgun. Pheasant flew up and crashed landed through the neighbours green house! oops! So, dad lept the fence, retrieved the bird, and in a moment of quick thinking chucked a tree branch in the greenhouse. Neighbour assumed that a branch had fell of the tree and went through the green house. LOL. When he was speaking to the neighbour a few days later, the neighbour commented "must have been a hell of a storm the other night...... " Edited May 14, 2009 by jackinbox99 Quote Link to post
fasthands 2 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 The law in this country I am led to believe, says you can only be prosecuted for trespass if you are "causing damage or you are carrying a firearm", so I believe if you leave your gun in the house then pop over the fence making sure you don't damage the fence if it is hers! and retrieve your kill there is nothing really she can do. saying that your air rifle isn't classed as a firearm so you may be able to do a Johnny Rambo and take your gun over the fence with you! Just for effect. . I have a friend who is a Police officer so I will ask him to clarify it for me. But I asked him about this a while ago as I was shooting adjacent to some land owned by the English Heritage, and it was full off bunnys. He said if I went in there and shot some, the English Heritage couldn't really do anything. So in I went over the fence, after a few visits sure enough a person from the English Heritage came over and said, " You can't shoot in here Bla Bla" so I replied "I am causing no damage and I haven't got a firearm just an air rifle" "and it is your duty to control these rabbits as they are out of control, and the nearby farmers are having a real problem with them". And to my surprise he said " Well in that case carry on!! just be careful around the old mine buildings and let someone know you are here so if you get hurt we know where to find you." as there is a few deep holes. signed me a permission sheet gave me his number and the rest they say is history!

Alternatively ive heard that putting some mince out on the lawn in the shape of a rabbit will attract them in. Once you shoot one, prop the dead one up on a bit of wood and others will fly down next to him. Magpies are normally in 2`s or 4`s. At the moment there have been no end in my garden & my parents garden. Quote Link to post
