mrtibbs 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) After speaking to many hunter's from all over the World, I've picked up on the fact that quite a few of them feel like they are treated like yokels or yobs! Personally viewing hunting as a sport or pastime, I'm interested to find out why do you think people who don't hunt or know very little about hunting, treat hunter's so badly? As a hunter, do you feel you've been stereotyped in the media, TV or movies? Does this type of portrayal affect you at all? Edited April 3, 2009 by mrtibbs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Doesn't bother me, as those that are commonly portrayed by the media do exist, and I'm fairly certain I'm not one, so as I said, it doesn't bother me. Same in all walks of life really, common perceptions, I always find givern the chance to chat, and get your point across, that most people accept what we do, if we do it for the right reasons, i.e food or pest control first, sport second.

Mrtibbs, perhaps you should have asked about the way people within the hunting comunity judge each other, bing up the name hancock or plummer and or Bull X and your viewed in a certain way. We can all be guilty of judging a book by it`s cover, when really we should all take time to at least flick through a few pages, Mars.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poacher3161 1,766 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 being a poacher and an hunter are more or less the same you tend to get stigmatized for being one or the other obviously from different sections of hunting i have found with poaching the ordinary man in the street looks at you like some out law type of figure but mention foxhunting or digging to the same man in the street and you ar a cruel b-----d Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 10,014 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well ive had lurchers for 25 years, and farmers+keepers still view anybody with a lurcher , is up to no good Even if you were , they all live in time-buble, they still think they are in 1920's. Where you had put food on the table, you can buy a feckin chicken today for 2quid£, times have moved on they havent.?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poacher3161 1,766 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 maybe if the farmers and land owner had made it more acssesible in years gone by the nation would not have the same view as it has today and would not have brought the hunting ban in just sickens me [bANNED TEXT] lads poaching are getting prosecuted under the hunting act Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sterry 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 As some will know i cant see why people poach no need for it (For those on here i make it clear i have nothing against you i just disagree). I dont think im stereotyped as a tweed wearing toff, because i do wear tweed and i unfortunatly speak "posh" so cant argue on that one really. But i do agree that we're stereotyped as a "cruel" and "evil" we're not those who buy the £2 chickens are for supporting intense farming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sterry 0 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I am lucky i agree being born into a family who has access to land and whatnot, but still i have never found gaining permission difficult. Being who i am i have never found myself in the position to give out permission but rather only policing it (which can be scary when you 15 and ask a bloke to stop running his dogs and driving round the feilds), that said i know farmer/landowners who would prefer people to run their dogs on their land than to shoot it, but wouldnt think about giving to someone they know already has poached it.
