Leeview 787 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Didn't this happen before there and it went to wrack and ruin? They then started it up as a keepered moor again! They'll never learn. It did it was leased from Bradford City Council and they withdrew the lease and after a few years in decline this Bingley syndicate leased it and built it up, they were only allowed 8days a season on the moor. It was quite alarming the dog walkers kicked off because they could n't walk their dogs on there on shoot days and the dogs were afraid of the gunshots,the cragrats played their right to roam cards of "we can go anywhere we like" so between the dog s roaming about along with the cragrats it cant of been easy for the keepers. Now the shooters paid BCC to shoot on Ilkley Moor,How much will BCC get from the dog walkers and cragrats? the country's really lost it yet again Y.I.S Leeview 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebiggerdog 160 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 local shooters should document how the moor is now, and the state it will turn into over the next couple years. then have a report done on the declining numbers. it could prove useful to any other moors facing the same fate. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the patman 4 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 just read they can shoot grouse till 2018 but no trapping of vermin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 The moor will wither and die. When you read some of the un-informed comments on the facebook page, it is not surprising that they banned it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I cant think of any other council owned grouse moor? They're privately owned and maintained as they should be, BCC should take advice from these landowners as to how to maintain what they have Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Truther 1,579 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I heard the shooting was an excuse for keeping the public off the moor while the so called shooters indulged in homosexual orgies? Im sceptical like, but you never know, could be true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If its a solution to the BOP issue on grouse moors, then better tell the RSPB so they can have their back doors smashed in for a good cause Quote Link to post Share on other sites
