Maybe THL Should start a professional culling service then everyone could have a go, or even better a charity that’s were the money is, we could help the deer, feed the old and useless make a shit load of money and be loved by everyone 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the wild boar and further deer culls should be given to the elderly, homeless orphans ect ect, but I bet there is some rubbish rules that say I can't be done. Much like the fishing industry, the amount of fish that is dumped is scandalous. Atb j 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sussex 5,802 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 At the moment there is a glut of venison , prices are at the lowest I’ve ever seen them ..I was quoted 75p lb before Christmas ( when the price usually is at its best ) that is reallydog meat money ...most non hunting shooting fishing types haven't got a clue about game meat and wouldn’t even try it let alone buy it ..their happy with bland factory reared chicken wrapped in polystyrene and cling film .. The big supermarkets are bringing venison in from NZ , I think this year it’s up around 5-7 thousand tons , sadly the supermarkets aren’t interested in our wild sourced deer because they have no real control of the logistics .. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, IF the landowners let keen lads crack on then I expect the deer would be culled and they would be just fine for it. So much absolute nonsense surrounds deer and rifles on this island. You will not be surprised to learn I AM in favour of public land ownership. The Highlands are owned by a few absent non Scots, who, since victorian times have used it as their their private sporting theme park. The SNP are talking bolshie about redistributing land to we peasants. The sooner the better. Trees need to grow here, wolves and lynx reintroduced. It would cost next to nothing to compensate farmers for their losses. Let's face it they are massively subsidised anyway. They are compensated at the moment for sea eagle lamb predation and they do well out of it. Would love to see bonnie Scotland re-wilded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love the idea of public land but I’m not sure I’m in favour of forced buy up by the state in the UK. Especially given that they’re a bunch of f***ing antis anyway. But aye, ideologically I support the concept of public ownership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t really think if the SNP kick out the absent land owners they will actually let the ordinary man loose on it to hunt fish and shoot ..they might plant some trees but like any government they will won’t control over it ..Are the SNP field sport minded ? From my limited knowledge they are anti dog work and anti grouse shooting ..The only people they would encourage would seem to be the ramblers ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollieollie 766 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 It’s typical of the modern world! Wait until it’s a problem before we sort it out. And by that time the solution is expensive... A sensible ongoing solution is required here!! And there are more than enough that would do it for free but red tape and bull sheeite gets involved and it’s left to some eejits with no clue on the subject to waste time discussing it in London 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Why don't they just set up a tag system like they have in the states and Canada. Say 5 tags per person. That should reduce the population, and generate money at the same time, and everyone get a fair chance at it. Atb j 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
