If you took the time to read my post properly, and got your foul mouthed head out of your arse long enough you would see i was actually doing the opposite by trying to save the man a load of unnecessary hassle.

He was right in this instance. I'm presuming you would not have had permission from the owners to chase rabbits on the football field.

It is also worth remembering, you can be arrested and have your dogs, vehicle removed if they think you have been illegally chasing game. The onus is then on you to prove your innocence. A load of hassle best avoided imo.

Well this is what riles me, this country you are innocent till proven guilty beyond any reasonably doubt,not guilty till proven innocent like they want you to believe,in scotland as far as I know and no doubt someone will put me right,there are no laws against trespass,provided no damage is done,so I would doubt the officers knowledge,the problem is police resourcing,probably means that you got a town bobby who was the only one available as a response to complaints,he probalby has little knowledge,of the country side,dont let this give you nightmares,and write down times and dates every time you get pulled,as basically you did nothing wrong, if they want to push it into harrasment,then thats there choice,

Print off a copy of the law for the next numpty that stops you. If you are genuinely walking the dogs ask them where their proof is that you have been chasing game and why have the other dog walkers that frequent the area not been stopped also?

[nothernlite 18,260]

At the end of the day hes a celtic supporter and wants independance i say lock him up lol

[bornhunterharvey 113]

f**k um lad. Next time they pull ya just ask them if they know bob. And when they answers bob who. That's when you say , bob down and suck mi nob ya c**ts.

[bornhunterharvey 113]

Too many lads worrying about the law its ment to be something that you enjoy. And now lots of lads are spending more time looking over there shoulders. Its getting beyond a joke law pulling a lad because he's got a f***ing lurcher and a lamp , f**k me dark nights are here you need the lamp to see where your going lad let them prove its not for that its there job silly c**ts

[Joe67 239]

lol, piss them off and thats when they start being c**ts.. ive had my run ins over the years( back in the day lol) but i also have respect for them as they helped my family. hopefully that one officer looks into it aswell and learns suttin for next time

[3175darren 1,102]

Trespass in pursuit of game, probably could get done for it, but they have to prove that's what you were doing walking a pup is not in pursuit of game, other wise anybody who walks a dog, runs the risk of prosecution even the townies who let there dogs go frantic across Heath land chasing deer in all directions, or through town parks remember the burden of proof is in there court,

According to Joe the officer said "you know its against the law to hunt any animal with dogs right". So I would say he wasn't right, far from it infact.

[fireman 11,382]

You can hunt rabbit and rats with Permission

Without permission your breaking the law

You can flush hares to a gun or hawk using one or two dogs with permission

Without permission again your breaking the law

Re deer best ask some one who knows

Think it's only shooting that's allowed with certain

Caliber of gun for certain deer again with a licence to have the said gun and with permission and if that species of deer is in season

Hunts can flush to a scent , drag hunt with permission if hounds accidentally get on a fox you try your best to call them off and you ain't breaking the law

Re terriers I'm sure you can put them to ground to fox with landowners permission if they are taking pheasants ect on that said land

This is how I see the barny anti hunt law that is detrimental to all wildlife if you look carefully at the bigger picture.

Any amount of dogs can be used with hawks and terrier work can be done in the protection of game birds and that's any game bird migratry or not so the land dosen't have to have a reared population on it, doing terrier work to protect the woodcock when they come for the winter is legal. .

[Giro 2,648]

Can still use dogs to flush or track deer on permission..

 

Can use dogs on deer if its injured - unwell, again with landowner permission..

 

We always see a few that are limping
