what would happen

[Squirrel_Basher 17,102]

Fact -Shepp ,you are right .No law against trespass .Its the trespass with intent that they have to prove .

Walking a dog at night with a lamp is not a criminal offence unless you are caught ,seen to be running anything on land you havent got permission .In the past its been hard enough to convince the law that I have permission ,even with written permission .

track of her. and get rid of anything i`ve got.

if the police want to charge you they,ll do it weather you have game or not, they charge you with tresspass in pursuit of game.... even when its been proved there lying in court...we have still been found guilty....the last time we got done they didnt even catch us on the land, it was in a car 5 mile away and an hour later

BEST ADVISE IS ALWAYS TRY NOT TO GET COURT, BUT I CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYBODY HAVING A DOG CONFERSCATED OR FERRETS FOR POACHING RABBITS.

The simplest way to look at it from a lurcher/rabbiting point of view, is that the Hunting Act 2005 basically made all lurcherwork illegal except for rabbiting.

 

Rabbiting is an exemption to the Act provided you have permission, (personally I'd want it in writing).

 

The Hunting Act says the following about rabbits.......

 

The hunting of rabbits is exempt if it takes place on land-

 

A - which belongs to the hunter, or

 

B - which he has been given permission to use for the purpose by the occupier or, in the case of unoccupied land, by a person to whom it belongs.

 

Get caught using a dog for rabbiting without permission and they can do you under the Hunting Act, never mind charges of poaching etc. The penalties under the Act can certainly include confiscation of dogs, vehicles etc. Though I agree with TOMO, it's not what I'd be expecting unless I'd been doing it too brown...

if you tell them that then there just going to say to you ! AH WELL WE ARE JUST GOING TO CHARGE YOU WITH HUNTING WILD GAME WITHOUT THE LAND OWNERS PERMISH , or some other charge along them lines , if they cach you you say nout only tell them your name and adress , at the most tell them your just out walking your dogs and you took the ferrets out for a runaround to , they have to prove that you are using them in the persuite of quarry so dont prove it for them keep yer mouth shut and act dumb but not dumb enough to admit comitting a crime there is no such thing as a boot up the hole and told not to do it again from these new age cops , all these basterds are intrested in is numbers of arests .

 

how can they charge me for hunting wild game when rabbits are classed as vermin?, i think the most they

can do is charge me with trespassing or something along those lines. :whistle:

bunnys on the lamp are classed as ground game but not day time for some strange reason

Depends on your local council as well mate, round my way the council are very anti and will prosecute.

But hey, you only live once
