stewie 3,387 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I think the cases of law breaking are rare and very isolated now days as you well know Lab, it's not worth the aggro to most lads. Yes i do....no point going to jail. Have to stick to the cd's, plastic owls and nets nowadays......... plus cheap radios from argos and a fluorescent strip light on the electric fence............

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 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.............. PS not being funny lab.........JMO............ Probably not.........but you know the reason for that......... because the intensive rearing of gamebirds ensures theres more than enough........ Nope........try again... i no what you mean and id be a daftie saying anything about it online so i cant win........... remember YOU release the birds into THEIR territory........their only taking the opportunity you provide them........... Not when there re-introduced i'm not. They should have thought about this before it was done.......Imagine having a field full of lambs and have a pair of they b*****ds breeding next to you. Know wonder folk break the law. should they not have thought about birds of prey when they released thousands of birds in their territory??? and we are talking about gamebirds not lambs.........thats a completely different discussion......... Yes.....you were allowed to control them years ago.....then some jumped up toad says no more and everyone in the industry is just ment to say "Ok"..........So glad i dont have a shoot anymore....

And thats view gets right on my tits if i'm honest mate.....if you won the lottery tomorrow do you think laws should be changed to fight against you just cause you now had a bit of coin. These multi-millionaires you speak off, some of them who i deal with are the tightest people on earth. They look at shoots as a business venture, certainly not as somewhere to throw money away. So poult numbers are worked out the same as if a smaller syndicate would work it out......its just on a grander scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
