Poachers

[Helen 2]

I'm having trouble with Poachers! I'm not against hunting my dogs work but I'm bloody annoyed. For the past few weeks I've gone out in the mornings and my stock, horses and sheep have been really nervous and one horse has run into a post and injured itself, not badly thank god. It was obvious something was scaring them at night so we rigged up a cctv so we could see what was happening. Lo and behold a couple of running dogs were coming through after rabbits and running amongst them causing panic the owner could clearly be heard calling them off, but not soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I don't know what to do any suggestions.

Go out there next time you see him and his dogs and tell him to f**k off! Let him know hese on cctv and the police will be involved next time. He wont come back.

Get rid of the rabbits... If you give a rough idea of your location, I'm sure someone could help you out, if there gone, theres no other reason to be on the land, even though they shouldn't be there in the first place.

Well i think the answer lies with you,,if you're willing to let them on to do a bit, maybe lamping but not anywhere there is stock, or ferretting,,your a member of a hunting site, and must have noticed what problems lads have getting permission, i'm sure if you made contact with them , you'd find they're probably not bad lads,,,

Although your horses an sheep are nervous they more or less always will be nervous around strange dogs. But atleast the dogs are stockbroken which I think is more reason to try an get to know these lads. As some others have said have a word. They will more than Likly be decent lads. An if you feel threatened or unsafe then take it further but the soft approach is the best way to tackle us dog lads... Goodluck..
