Dan25 87 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Went out lamping last we left early only local wanted to be home early in the first field at about half 7 hit another field at 8 ish the night was going well all of a sudden about 5 police cars pull up at the gate van and the game keeper so we walk over we were only lamping a few rabbits long story short they keep us at the roadside for 2 hours searched us tried to take the motor which never went near a field no criminal damage but there doing us for trespassing and poaching Took the dogs which is the worst thing wish they nicked me then Take me dog they said they won't no if il get her back don't no what ere they have take. Them or nothing game keeper was a c**t as well saying he's seen and spoke to us before what a liar never seen him in my life also lads he said that lamping any game after dark was illegal even with permission I think this sport is going to get tougher for us all any advice on how to get my dog back will be greatly appreciated thanks Link to post
paulsmithy83 567 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 You aint got leg to stand on if you were poaching and caught by the police on the land itself. the trespass law is quite solid in tgose circumstances. Why were you even poaching at 7.30 bit stupid really 4 Link to post
FUJI 16,302 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 You ain't getting your dog back matey,amazed the motor never went too..I've lost both, huge fines,banned from keeping hunting dogs,electronic tag etc for lesser than you did..you've gotta work inside the hunting guidelines since the ban came into effect or basically your just playing Russian roulette..all these cnuts saying fcuk the ban won't be saying that when they fall foul of the law because they will if they continue as they are and think they are above the law and become ruthless with their ethics towards hunting..its bad craic buddy and like I say I'm talking from experience not just hearsay..keep on keeping on ? 7 Link to post
dodger 2,664 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Real over kill that for lads that are out for a few rabbits especially when there's so much trash doing much worse things walking the streets but as Paul said 7 30 abit silly but to be honest I have done it myself in the past, shame about your dog hope you get her back.. 2 Link to post
Hunting Lad 49 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not sure how they can take your dogs off you if you are only get done for trespass surely to take your dogs off you they would have to prove you where using them for illegal purposes such as in the pursuit of illegal quarry. Where you caught with any game? Or did the police see you chasing anything? A decent solicitor might be able to get your dogs back.... 1 Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 ffs why didn't you run , instead of going over too them,if I was poaching I be heading the opposite way if your going too get caught do it properly 14 Link to post
terryd 8,045 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 All ways hear mention of that solicitor clive rees on here for field sports issues ? Must be a sickener for you and I wouldn't waste a second getting the ball rolling fingers crossed you get it back. On another note bit puzzled why people go on keepered land who job it is or part of to catch folks you are really upping the anti. Not like some old farmer who see a light on his land and thinks sod that its a just a local after a rabbit as long as he hasn't had grief and goes back to sleep 1 Link to post
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thats the price you pay. For breaking the law. And for being a bleeding idiot. Sorry about the dog though. It's a hard lesson, but learn from it. 5 Link to post
Dewclaw69 484 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 likely they'll have the arsepca "inspect" the dogs and will have the dogs kept on health grounds and you'd better be hoping that the only mammals on that ground are bunnies or they'll be trumping that one up as well. Real shame for the dogs. 1 Link to post
