SheepChaser 8,082 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Most folk with half a brain know not to be pointing hubs at people in this day and age! Problem is though, a lot of lurcher lads don't know how the countryside works as well as they think and don't know the harm they cause sometimes! 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) All this farmers and gamekeepers pointing Guns at you is bollox ... do you think the man is going to murder you and go inside for a very long time just for catching a bit of game ... I don't think so ..... are you saying you dont belive those of us that say this happened to,,,cos i can asure you this happened to me,, or are you saying ,,,there never going to really shoot you??? i would agree with that in the vast majority of cases,,although theres at least one yorkshire pudding on hear that has genuinly been shot I think that, all things being equal,..there is scant likelyhood of many lurchermen getting themselves whacked,...dogs sometimes cop it, yes,...but not usually their owners. However,..I know for a fact, that some folk have had bullets fired over their heads,...hardly a war zone,.but scary nonetheless. Been threatened and battered countless times,...,.What I do believe, is that when you put someone in a corner,...they can become dangerous, and do some crazy shit...

I would be more worried if he had a pic axe handle in his hand ...... 1 Quote Link to post

brambles 3,062 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 There's a difference between cold blood and a severe accident when it goes off after being brandished about and pointed towards dogs and someone holding one, cause if you say that don't happen your talking pish Quote Link to post

Maybe an isolated incident Socks, 4 years ago just outside Scarborough in a little place called heslerton, some local lads drove into a field in a Subaru, BOOM! the rear window was shot out 1 lad hit by about 6 or so pellets around the neck and shoulders 1 dog also hit as they left the field, faster than they came into it another shot rang out striking the car...............they never went back again...............you can only push people so far before they snap 2 Quote Link to post
novice 25 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Can anyone recall the name of the lad from a traveller background who was competing in the paralympics earlier in the year, paralysed from the waist down? He was shot in the spine by a keeper who shot through the rear of the vehicle he was in. Novice 1 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Mentally unstable must apply to 95% of running dog lads in todays environment how ever thats another matter. Dogs getting shot rarely gets publicised unless its accompanied by the sheep worrying tag. Plenty of tales coming off the big land about vigilanty farmers trying to force lads off the road ocaissionally a farmer or a keeper gets a slap and its headlines. All sides need to take a step back. Example the Air Ambulance is regularly called out by the Police to locate hare coursers is this what this resource is for or the donations given for? Its not unusual for 4 p0lice vans and 5/6 police cars to be despatched to chase hare coursers yet muggers burglars thieves are ignored nowadays. No wonder some folk feel paranoid or persecuted, 4 lads caught and fined for coursing 3 grand fine, the expenditure to catch and prosecute them £25/30,000 do the sums. Some Gamies and Farmers now have someone literally riding shotgun which in itself is an accident waiting to happen.. As long as a piece of junk legislation like the Hunting Act is being upheld poaching will continue and so will the possibility of serious accidents happening this also encourages the landdrivers as they drive the land for a quick exit should it come on top. 4 lads came close to losing their lives a few weeks ago in a police chase they hit atree and a innocent passing motorists car troubled times are in the countryside one thinks.

Bosun11 537 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Shot at once (probably over my head as i was running away full pelt at the time) and had a shotgun let off right next to me to kill my ferret and shit us up (which i did!). Came off a field at night to find a very serious landowner(?) pointing a shotgun at us and telling us to clear off. Quote Link to post
