csme55ex 2 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thats the bother with ferreting, your a bit tied to the one spot once you put your ferrets in youve made that committment to stick with them til they resurface or are dug to. Ive been caught loads of times over the years, every farmer/keeper is different and they dont all react the same. Ive had blokes shouting and bawling at me, every swear word under the sun, threats of this and that, through to guys who will come over and take an interest in what your doing and watch the proceedings, one time a keeper came over and asked me to leave, I was on my own with 2 ferrets and a few nets, it was back years ago when I used to get mates to drop me off at bits as I didnt drive. I just told him straight I had been dropped off and the guy wasnt coming back for me for 2 hours. And that I wasnt prepared to leave my ferrets to ground. If your determined in your attitude people will often respect you for it allthough a lot of the time its begrudingly. Well this keeper didnt really know what to say after that, so I offered him a sweet as an icebreaker and he accepted and then sat down to watch the rabbits bolt and then me clearing up the nets etc. When I had them back in the box and made to move off to the next bit he just said ok on you go I can see your no doing any harm just stay away from that wee wood where the pheasants are and once your mate picks you up I dont want to see you again Of course I stuck to my side of the bargain rigidly once I give my word thats it, I went back many times but as agreed, he never SAW me again hehe that made me proper laugh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yokel Matt 918 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Why bother poaching land when you've got '1500 acres of land' permission You're obviously a kid so you've probably got a better chance of getting permission anyway, especially if your other permission will give you a referance... and if you don't why bother poaching, you say there are no rabbits there anyway. Personally i've got no time for poachers and spend a lot of time and effort retaining and gaining new permission. If you think poaching is cool try explaining to your dad why your equipment's seized and your dog's been shot, and it'll serve you bloody right. Reap what you sow. While i'm at it, pay more attention in your English lessons and delete shopping list under you avatar as its a pain in the ass scrolling through it every time.

thepriest 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 The real art is not to get caught in the first place. Its all about getting to know the estate you are working, Keepers are creatures of habit mainly. Get to know his movements and regular patrols if any. Find out where he drinks and what time he has his supper. The real key is being able to carry out the ancient art with as little poaching paraphernalia as possible so if you do get compremised you can have a cover story for you trespass. Ferrtets are a no no, Guns are just ferkin stupid unless you dont mind losing them or stashing them prior to getting collared. Get dropped off dont leave a motor parked up in a layby, If night poaching birds use a red filter on your lamp, The list is endless. I have poached and i have been a keeper. If your sloppy enough to get compromised you deserve all you get. If in doubt of your skill dont do it, Get permission. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
