Nothing has changed since the ban.... if your discreet and not stupid enough to film what you are doing...then you get to craic on...it's the fame seekers that can't use their heads ,just can't grasp the concept of flying under the radar

I can’t believe the CA didn’t write in an exemption for the lone hunter, quietly working his dogs and leaving nothing except a bent blade of grass as a clue that he was ever there…….did they not take into consideration lads doing it “properly” and not making it hot for everyone ? Lol  

thats the issue isnt it ; those old romantics are going to get the same treatment as the thugs

I’d say that since the ban everything has changed to be honest mate 

You can’t account for chance , that one day a Walker heads left at a track to see what’s there, that day your dogs are seen by a person at a neighbours who rings the police 

not everything can be kept from the public eye all the time

terrierwork has the biggest loopholes of all though, was never going to really be effected when every spare acre has birds released

[chartpolski 27,961]

Just a quick thought on why the dogs were muzzled;

Perhaps they interpreted The Hunting Act as it being illegal to KILL a mammal with a dog, and by muzzling , tried to show there was no intention to kill ?

Wrong interpretation, of course, but who knows  ?

Cheers.

i think it was worse before the ban for poaching having issues most land had keepers or lads who’s permission you was on they was on it

is it not the same where you are? honestly every piece of land down here is an estate or syndicate so theres plenty of work for anyone with terriers that wants to help the keepers protect the birds.

Do you remember my little terrier got out and the next door woman caught it and phoned the dog warden ? (Despite knowing it was my dog !) 

That dog warden asked all sorts of nosey questions about the scars on the dogs head when he fetched it back, I just said “yeah, he’s a right f****r for brambles when we are out”……his reply was “Just checking because a certain type of people keep these dogs” 

 

This was 10 years ago, f**k knows what things would be like now.

Lad I know , very quiet lad , didn’t know what a phone is , older type , had patterdales mid 90s onwards . 

Finishing off and as they were packing away , the end of a shovel caught in the mechanism and smashed a brake  light cover on his vitara. 

was driving home in the motorway and as he emerged at the junction , a Volvo t 5 was sat at the top . 
 

The traffic cops face he said was a picture as he stared at the boxed up black dogs with half faces left . 

you’d have thought they’d caught al Capone 

35 years of keeping earth dogs and never bothering a soul , f****d by a shovel handle . 
 

you are never more than a broken tail I light away from Being f****d

I think it’s fair to say folks need to be conscious of ‘how they go about things’ since the ban.

But it’s also right to say that most have just found a way and either got lucky or lived with having to be cautious. I know lads who 20 years ago would’ve had a kennel of stripped dogs but now won’t tolerate anything like that on their yard.

Terriers only enemies are the antis. Coursing though have managed to turn the whole countryside against them.

Don’t matter what you do or how you go about it, you will never convince your ordinary every day citizen that a sweet looking roe doe with a lurcher clamped to its neck is in anyway acceptable……it’s a battle you can never win.

So don’t try to win it…….good on the lads that say “f**k it” and just get on with zero fucks given, old duffers like me who are way too comfy in our armchair and don’t need the ag ain’t the future of dogs, lads killing stuff are.

To some one like me at my age it seems a life time away the days when the places I worked nobody gave a shit if I was poaching venison or game birds and could always find buyers at the pit or on the building site I still think that social media has had a big impact on how ordinary joe public view lad's coursing a few hares.
