gringo40 13 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi Lads Me and Andy (Rossy08) know this guy who's blagged a massive farm permission very local to where we live. He somehow got it by actually getting caught shooting without permission, the land owner saw him and his mate shooting on his land and instead of bollocking them actually gave them full permission. Unreal Since he's had this permission me and Rossy got chatting to him in the local bar. First he tells us he's had a go at snaring, fair enough we thought but then he goes on to say "Problem is it takes me two hours to check all the snares, so I haven't checked some for days".........Alarm bells are ringing with me and Mr Ross. Rossy tells him he shouldn't set snares he cant check on regular basis. All we got was a vacant look Next he goes on to tell us about a rabbit he shot, "I put it on a fence to go and collect later" he says "When I walked away up the field I looked back and saw a fox nicking the rabbit, so I ran back shooting at the fox". At this point me and Rossy are f*****g horrified. Again we explained that is big NO NO. It didn't seem to register with this p***k. Undettered by our concerns regarding his antics, he goes on to ask where he can buy a crossbow. I thought Rossy was going to explode. It's obvious this guy is a complete w****r but my dilemma is this. He also told me the land owner has a fox problem and want's someone with shotgun to sort them out, this I can do. Do I kiss ass and get him to take me to this permission, then get permission from the land owner for myself and then muscle him out. Or do I just go and tell the land owner what a t**t he is, at the risk of the land owner thinking I'm just saying that to nick the permission. What would you do lads? Cheers Carl Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 First of all, Let this idiot know that hunting with an Xbow is illegal in this country. Let him know that a shotty is not really adaquate for foxes as you will know unless at close range. Then tell him that if he needs proof of that to look down the barrel of a loaded shotty and pull the trigger. He mustn't move his eye away from the blast though Phantom Quote Link to post

He mustn't move his eye away from the blast though Phantom a shot gun is more then enough for a fox ....FACT !!!! loaded with BB'S it does the job but not at silly distance. it is not against the law to use a shotgun and people should stop scaremongering, any FEO will tell you the same i take it this was joke? heaven forbid you are asking someone to look down the barrel of a gun.

Cleanspade 3,323 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 sounds like your jealous this fellow got some good permision. and you want it for yourself. what you should do is educate the lad. take up the offer and help him to control the foxes. on his terms. and think yourseves lucky. how do i know this wont happen? i wouldnt show you a blackies nest. ps. a shotty is a great tool for pest control. ideal for foxes Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hey guy's I love the way Chimp removes the emoticon, to twist my words and make it sound serious,don't you? Chimp, If you wish to make a joke about something, then please feel free to use these little tools called Emoticons, they are to help get across what you type in the way that its meant, otherwise it may not come across as how you wanted it and may offend people. Theres a whole range of these emoticons on the right hand side of the editor when you post, use them, you never know you may find them helpfull. By the way I never said it was illegal to use a shotty against a Fox, I said it was "unsuitable" I also said "unless at close range" As for being a grass, If I see something that I think is designed to provoke an argument or get some kind of adverse reaction from people on here, then I shall continue to be a grass. We like to try and keep the Airgunning sectionfriendly, even when were winding people up Yeah Carl the guy your talking about certainly does sound like a retard. Phantom Quote Link to post
chimp 299 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) shotgun is suitable.......... fact. (edited) in the midst of cumbria asking someone to look down the barrel of a gun (joking or not) i think is a little OTT. maybe we both need to think before we type hey . atb oh and a few of these (make your own mind up lol ) atb this is the end of the matter now . :sick: :do Edited June 12, 2010 by chimp Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 this is the end of the matter now . Agreed Phantom Quote Link to post
stevieskin 4 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 we need that land mate. This is the line that makes it sound more like selfish reasons than anything else. There seems ro be a bit of the "green eyed monster" present. Rather than try and steal the land from under him , why not try and help the bloke? Just my opinion 1 Quote Link to post
rossy08 33 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 we need that land mate. This is the line that makes it sound more like selfish reasons than anything else. There seems ro be a bit of the "green eyed monster" present. Rather than try and steal the land from under him , why not try and help the bloke? Just my opinion ya ok that did sound a bit off. fair point we have been trying to help. but when you tell people the right way to do thing and they dont listen,and then go on to tell you some of the absolutily stupid f****n things theve been doing and laughing there heads of about it you tend to give up. offerd to go shooting with them at first, but im sorry i wont be out shooting with people like that.after hearing some of the things they have been doing. dont need the land as me and carl both have quite alot already. but it wont be long befor the land owner sees or hears what there upto. and that the job there ment to be doing isent getting dun either. seam a waste of good shooting land thats all. and a good chance some idiots are going to bring even more of a bad name to our sport. atb Andy 1 Quote Link to post

I don't think he wants to be educated, you must know the type. Cheers Quote Link to post
davyt63 1,845 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 hi lads i think this lad is a f*****g liability this is what i would do! get the number of the land owner,contact him about his fox problem!get it signed the permission papers. then if this retard continues to be an arse. then let the land owner know you don't feel safe while he has permission to control the vermin! and get him thrown off.the last thing we need is a retard destroying air gunners rep regards davy 1 Quote Link to post
othickman 6 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I agree fully with Davy; the guy sounds like he just went and bought a gun and some snares with absolutely no knowledge of the laws relevant,so I would suggest you take up the offer of getting the permission, then try and educate him and if he continues to be tit then go to the landowner, explain the laws he is breaking and make it clear that the they (the landowner) is also liable. Then recommend that s/he should quietly revoke his permission for obvious reasons, and offer to take up the job of pest control yourself. Quote Link to post
