stabba 10,745 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Its a sad but true fact that 90% of motor poachers wouldnt know how to put game in front of a dog by walking...the vast majority are in it purely for the "fcuk you" factor towards the police and land owners..just watch the headlines to see how many get caught in motors v those on foot ...atb stabba Quote Link to post

Guest jt750 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I must say if i was a burgler i wouldn't tell folk on facebook, and if i was a poacher i wouldn't type it on a forum watched by the police with 33,000 members, but hey thats just me........ whats a bit of poaching. theres alot more worse things people could be doing in life than catching the odd rabbits or anything else they choose to hunt. A criminal record is a criminal record ...simple as Quote Link to post
