chartpolski 21,068 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 If you're on permission, 'phone them before you go out and get an incident number. You'll probably still get pulled, but it will speed things up. Cheers. Quote Link to post

DogMagic 461 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 They want to know youve not coursed anything other than rabbits. Foxes are off limits but that doesnt explain searching you. However the random copper wouldnt know there isnt hare or deer in the area unless they are "into" the countryside and its ways too. Another possibility is that they want to check you have permission, if you dont they will do you for poaching. Coupled to that a lot of people including coppers are antis who just want to make life difficult for us every chance they get. Also if burglary is a concern in the area thry will be making sure your motor isnt chocka with tellys and laptops! Lol! Just have your permission letter handy and think about letting them know your going to be on bla bla farm between say 11 pm and 3 am, they should leave you alone then. Quote Link to post

I wouldn't think so, but if some one calls it in or your motor is spotted, then they know that you're supposed to be there. It saved me and Mally a load of greif one time when a neighbouring farmer saw us lamping on permission and decided to run us over with a 4x4 and attack us with a baseball bat !! LOl !! Cheers.

Cheers. nice chap!!! just a thought, I'm off out tonight on permission I only got at the weekend. I didn't have a letter handy so was going to nip over tomorrow to get it signed.....the law just states permission doesn't it? not written permission? If I got pulled tonight, I have verbal permission so that's me covered isn't it? Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) We got stopped the other day going out ferreting, the cop pulled in behind us when we parked up, he had been following us. He stopped because we had dogs. We were in an area with illegal quarry species, but that was not his concern. His MAIN concern was that so many folk use 'doing a bit of rabbiting with the dogs' as an excuse to go around farms etc stealing stuff. So often it's f**k all to do with the hunting . . .
