morton 5,369 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Has anyone ever encountered any gamekeepers that have been jealous or phoned the police on them? I have been out this week lamping with some youngsters and on wednesday night whilst out and on the opposite side of the road to where I have permission the dogs needed a pee. I saw the under keeper from the other estate across had passed us i recently had a bit of conflict with him as i had been with a good friend years ago and shot nine foxes. When he saw them he asked me in a nice polite way would I not shoot them anymore as he liked shooting them himself, I said no if they are on my permission, I think he took it bad so like i say he had passed me the other night and saw the dogs out asked what i was up to i just told him I was just letting the dogs empty thereselves, so we let the dogs do the stuff 10 minutes after this he came passed again by this time it was getting dark so we thought we would leave it another 15 minutes for it to get darker, the slimey git had phoned the police and lo and behold the armed response unit came, he had told them that we had fire-arms and we had only 2 young lurchers in the back how sly is that? Then we found out that he had become the head keeper, the police officers then asked me to prove I had permission to which i said that it was late not to wake the owners up I would bring written permission in luckily the people who owned the land strolled past and told the officer i had permission how jealous is that arsehole The majority of keepers are hard working individuals and have enough on their plate,especially at this time of year,the majority of lurcher owners are as hard working and dedicated,the twats that are the minority spoil it for both camps.A keeper will obviously call on the assistance of the police if needed,its often needed.At this time of year with the hours the average keeper puts in,the last thing he needs or wants is some summer hunters straying on his patch,or even near it.A little inconvenience,at times,is to be expected when pursuing your chosen lifestyle. dont think your reading it right...........he was on a public road none of the keepers buissness.when he asked what he was upto that was reason enough to tell him to mind his own buissness gamekeepers arnt peelers although some think they are. Some gamekeepers know what bullshit smells and sounds like. Quote Link to post

If a keeper thinks your up to no good,he may take it upon himself to take appropriate action,thats his/her job,if they have been in the job for more than a week they will have cause to be suspicious of lurcher owners and the bullshit they spew to try and cover their tracks,ive never yet been stopped by an irate binman at an ungodly hour whilst i tried to secrete lamp battery and dog in a wheelie bin.
