scothunter 12,609 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) in the good old days while poaching you had to be on your toes from cops and keepers but we loved every minute of it cat and mouse games switching lamp off sneaking around keepers yard slashing tyres nicking his ferets cutting fences no wonder they hated me! its funny tho i got permission further afield and it just wasnt the same as poaching never actually felt the need to go slashing tyres and chopping down fences.kinda aking for trouble if you ask me. nine times out of ten,the keepers never knew we were even there.

morton 5,368 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Its not so long ago that you had more than a reasonable chance of poaching sucessfully,i still ended up at Skipton magistrates a time or 2,now everybody as a mobile which puts the odds in the landowner and policemans favour,the Hunting ban does,nt help,what the police had to let you go for in the past they can now arrest and charge you for.It was a lot easier than it is now.

I certainly wouldnt put a loaded gun to their chest, smash their motor up, Beat them up or call the police. I would let them tag along and if they were alright people, invite them back.
