Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I would make bloody sure to distance myself from this behaviour. It's illegal on mainland UK, and all it does is gives the rest of us a bad name. Report where you can, and make sure people know that you hunt responsibly. I only have one small permission currently - but I would have no problem in either kicking unauthorised/illegal hunters off, or reporting them so that the authorities/farmer could deal with them. what do you mean to report to the authorities ? what so your saying is you would grass when i bet every ones poached at some time time in there life.poachers arnt to know its someone elses permission.but dont get the authorities involved First off, I've poached (fish, and not with dogs) when I was much younger. Of course I knew I was poaching. Second - I don't give a flying fcuk about keeping poachers away from my permission - I'm not looking to win any popularity contests. Finally, according to the OP, we're not looking at one or two chasing the odd bunny. What we have been presented with is some people killing hares with dogs and leaving them to be found. You have to be able to see the harm that that kind of behaviour does, surely? A sole person walking a boundary where his/her dog may wander onto adjoining land is a totally different scenerio, and excusable, of course. Killing for the sake of killing, and leaving dead hares to upset people and bu**er up what sport we have left is damnable. your right on some accounts but dont bring the authorities into it get it sorted your self or with help Fair comment. Across here the "authorities" are likely to me me and a couple of part-time ghilles/keepers. Bad choice of word guys - I apologise. 1 Quote Link to post
