RossM 7,979 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Say hunting licence 30 quid per year Million people hunting one form or another 30 million every year Decent chunk of money annually Then all the money re jobs ' suppliers' hospitality ect ect making hunting Legal once more would bring to the economy It makes sense. Hunting back under a hunting licence . With a quarry quota too . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jacknife 2,005 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Far too many numpties hunting all year with dogs. Too many doing it without land owners permission So you get a unhappy land owner who want them shot on sight regardless of the month Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,639 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I'm curious Max, why should shooters pay for a national game licence again, in an effort to legitimise coursing, when only last March you were calling for hare shooting to be banned? Edited January 15, 2015 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,639 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 So, you want all other fieldsports to pay a licence fee just so you can legally course, while at the same time you would ban part of the sport that the shooters (who are supporting you in paying a licence in exchange for coursing to be legalised) enjoy. You'll have a hard job convincing the shooting community to scratch your back when all you're doing is pissing on theirs. Especially seeing as a licence would not benefit the majority of fieldsports at all. Even the 30M you quote is piss in the ocean to what shooting alone is worth to the British economy. I just don't get your reasoning here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,639 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I wasn't arguing coursing vs shooting. I wouldn't, I think both are valuable British fieldsports. I was arguing how you could justify enforcing a game licence on shooters, solely for the benefit of coursing men, when you would gladly stab shooters in the back. But if you insist, the example you gave is illogical. Going in a keepers pen to butcher his birds is mindless vandalism. Shooting hares on a shooting estate is of no concern for coursing men. The two aren't even similar. Now if you said, how would a keeper feel about a coursing man shooting pheasants on a coursing estate that had nothing to do with the keeper (which is the correct reverse of situation you gave), then I I imagine the keeper wouldn't give a f**k.

gamerooster 1,179 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Not quite the same fella, coursing men think they have a god given right to hares, the example you have give is rubbish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
