Daveo 61 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Iv had this recently, i reported him for threatening behaviour, i did'nt want to involve the police but he had reported me for poaching (i was'nt) so i didnt have much choice. But if he took a picture first then shot your dog thats not legal. The only way he can do it legally is if your dog is worrying his stock right there right then and he shoots it to protect his stock. As far as i know deer are not classed as a domesticated species so would'nt come under the normal classification of farm stock, like gamebirds they remain wild. Basically keep your dog on a lead and tell him to lick your love pump. Quote Link to post

Simply Bull 02 11 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 some dick triggerd my dogs way then i would feel for him and his livestock for many years to come Quote Link to post
kevin from bristol 95 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 this is a good one for me as i have twice seen dogs shot for coursing hares just after the ban one was on a slip standing right next to its owner and shot after an argument and the other was shot as it ran past a landrover that had stopped on the other end of the field by the same bunch of toffs that we have been arguing with for ever and a day the second wasn't a bad shot as the dog was turning a high speed the police were never called but large plant machineary just started to disapear over night hahahaha Quote Link to post
dave1372 83 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) I imagine the farmer/landowner is just trying to discourage you from being on his land, most farmers realise the repercussions of shooting a dog would cause him more problems in the long run as it would be in the papers, and then the public persecution would set it, so he would lose in the long-term. I know of a farmer locally that did shoot a dog and he would tell you now that he does regret it, he has had his house and car windows put in quite a number of times so I hear. However you should also see it from his point of view and maybe give his land a wide berth for a while....... what is the point in tempting fate ! By going back it will give hime more evidence or justification in the eyes of the police! ...... you both could end up being losers in the long-run so what's the point !

fmwtc 12 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 firstly if a dog is worrying stock then you can shoot it legally but and here is the big but only if your ticket states it and you are using the correct weapon we have shot dogs on our farm but with new legistlations ect our firearms officer made us get a 22.250 for the job as anything of a lower calibre isnt deemed suitable this may change area to area but our fac man said under no circumstances must you shoot one with a shotgun unless point blank.heres another thing i would reprt the bloke who has threatend you as he will loose his ticket straight off a neighbouring farmer to us was out shooting rabbits with his 17hmr and an anti borders his farm the anti rang the police and reported him for pointing the gun in his direction he wasnt but within the day the police had confiscated the gun and he has lost his fac and is unable to get it back Quote Link to post
Tallyho 181 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 If you were told you were on private land but you still did not take heed and went back again then i do think you are asking for trouble and putting your dog at risk what if he did shoot the dog ???? its all very well running to the police but the damage is already done your down one dog, so if i was you take the dog some where else to run it.

markandrewhiley 0 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 look, just stay away, the keeper of whoever he is, is haveing trouble, your just adding to his worries, just walk your hound somewhere else, failing that, find out who his employer is, call in, with your best bib an tucker, bottle o whisky in your coat pocket, and ask for permission.
