Poachers What can you do????

[fazerthou 2]

Hi Guys

 

What a crap day, started on 1st burry, one in the bag in 1st 5 minutes then nothing for 1/2 hour.

 

So moved on to another, which i had been specially asked to clear as they had been having problems with rabbits getting into their garden, and i knew this was

going to be a good one as i had shot over it in the last 6 months.

 

Started pegging out on the 1st hole, i thought that looks like a peg hole, no sooner had i thought that, my son says somebody's left a net here, then had a quick look, and found another, the 2 we did find were in such a place that you couldn't have left them behind by mistake, so i am assuming they scarpered pretty quick at some point, "Cos they shouldn't have been there in the first place"

 

I was 'issed off to say the least, but if who ever it was could have asked to help or brought their ferrets i would have said OK. We all have to start somewhere, but just going and helping yourself doesn't do any good, The most annoying thing was they damaged some fencing while they were at it, and i have had to go and tell the farmer, good job he is a very good friend of mine.

 

So if anybody reading this, who goes where they shouldn't, please be a bit more thoughtful, do the leg work, (more than that, usually)and think about what you are doing, just go and ask for permission, if they say somebody already does it, ask them for the guys name and number, and give them a bell, they would probably be greatful of the help.

 

Anybody got any other comments or idea's?

Think you have pretty much hit the nail on the head there pal!

The best way to deter poachers is to take the rabbits your self, and leave them nowt

or befreind them and go on there bits of land swap for swap ,or take them under your wing and show them what not to do to piss you off

your talking/quoting as though the "poachers" know you, or are reading this topic themselves

That probably isn't too far fetched, i think we have all at some point had someone back track on us. It could just as easily been an overheard conversation in a pub!

People ,some of them on here ,who say" we don't do any harm the farmer doesn't even know we have been poaching his ground",conveniently choose to forget that in most cases someone has managed to win hard earned permission on it,and by doing it clandestinely they are shitting all over that guy,it might be one of the fella's you have a crack with on here.Either way it's a shitty thing to do imo.

Another reason why legitimate hunters are getting pulled at night ,is because of those who haven't got permission.

Slowly ,but surely the doors are closing ,but some won't see the wood for the trees.

I expect I will get the usual flak ,but thats my take on it.
