killbilly 17 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Maybe they were introduced because they were persecuted by keepers until they became extinct?????? In my eyes the sea eagle has more right than the pheasant to living here. Pheasants get killed left right and centre on our roads yet keepers go out of their way to kill birds of prey. FFS some roads round here are literally carpeted with pheasant as there are thousands getting released yet the same keepers actively kill anything with a hooked beak. You should hang your head in shame. The actions of a few rotten apples shouldn't be used to taint a whole sport. However shooting organizations must have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to dealing with rogue individuals. Ever illegal incident only erodes public support for our sport and plays into the hands of the Antis!! Edited June 13, 2013 by killbilly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Think what you like lads...canny be f****d arguing with folk that think like that. If it was hitting you in the pocket directly youd have a big change of mind...fact!! if birds of prey are damaging shoots pockets all over the country mate, then why do they have days clearing up old birds and the end of every season........... You mean the cock day.......to clear up the cocks that will just f**k off and to give the beaters/ pickers up a day out and a thank you. Stop being an argumentative c**t cause you know fine well what thats all about 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stop being an argumentative c**t cause you know fine well what thats all about ok yeah ill agree on that mate...........BUT ( ) to me if your shooting 200 plus cocks for a day then perhaps a boundary day or two after and the shoots shot its quota then surely theres plenty of birds on the ground.......... is there any shoots that have gone out of business purely over birds of prey predation..............
