SheepChaser 8,082 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 You can only do it on your own ground I think. Asked RE lamping - told if its necessary part pf agriculture on own ground then its accepted, but travelling elsewhere to do it for 'fun' is deemed unnecessary travel. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SheepChaser 8,082 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Just now, baker boy said: You're thinking about going out to shoot because you enjoy it, I lie every time I put a terrier in the ground (gamebird protection bollocks) I enjoy working terriers, if a farmer was to phone me tomorrow to dig something I would tell him no, at least br truthful about it The other side of it is - on our farm, we dont really want outsiders coming on farm anymore, less people less risk. Problem is foot paths - can they shut them??? We are producing the food to feed people . . . . . maybe avoiding getting us sick would be a good idea!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could be deemed your daily exercise. If you're worried get a letter written by the farmer. Like i said, its allowed on own farm, but argument could be made that farmer could put a scarer up or shoot them himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,570 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Theres a few on here me included that might not make it though this because others flout the rules.

I'm not advocating people flout rules and go out shooting etc, but it doesn't compare to large gatherings queueing in shops etc, I've got fecking parcels in the garage in quarantine, these are some fecked up times lol.... Very true. I suppose it depends what you touch etc. We are having an issue here - lots of walkers, touching gates etc. I know it sounds daft! But if you're driving half a mile up road, sitting in a hedge and twitting some birds then going home, its not going to make a difference. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt you'd get in any trouble at the moment for chaining gates and putting a few signs up saying why Quote Link to post Share on other sites
