death by dog 11 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Does anyone think the ban has done much apart from make you sneak about rather than just saying Fu** it ? Quote Link to post
Aaron_butcher 17 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 permission has always been scarce anyway so we're still sneaking about the same as we was before. 2 Quote Link to post

chartpolski 23,140 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 There are many to whom the "ban " means nothing ! How many on here worked their dogs legaly, before the ban ? Don't forget, it was ilegal before the "ban " to take rabbits and game, without permision. How many of us walked the walk and never had permision in their lifes ? A fine under the "Trespass In Pursuit" law, would be the same ,(adjusting for inflation ! LOl !), as a fine under the "Hunting Act 2004" Poaching has always been ilegal.... you takes your chance......you takes your punishment ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post

MrsChamp606 553 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's the child syndrome coming out in all of us, you tell a kid he can't do something what happens.... All he wants to do is what u told him not too! Do your home work, keep your eyes and ears open and enjoy yourlife! It's not like were out mugging grannies is it?!! Happy hunting! Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's the child syndrome coming out in all of us, you tell a kid he can't do something what happens....

Your more likely to receive harsher treatment in a Court of Law for an hunting related prosecution,than one for mugging an old dear.Therein lies the real travesty and underlines the resolve of certain political organisations to keep pressure on the Politicians to ensure the ban stays.So with little hope of things changing,to the benefit of the hunting fraternity,especially the dog men/women,you may have to resort to a little discretion in the field,which in reality,as always been the way.

trinder 127 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 The ban is just a pathetic law that does not change anythin where hunting is concernd just makes people more secretive Quote Link to post

In the 60's & 70's I loved daywalking for hares; then the lamping came in and I took to it with gusto !! These days I do a bit of both, I enjoy a walk with the lamp, but must admit, I still like the thrill of the chase during the day ! Hope you have a great New Year !! Cheers.

Good Man 196 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 what made me wonder about the ban ove their, is the hare must be shot, if it looks like the dog is going to catch it! what a load of crap, as if that was the case, the dog would be shot too accidently, trying to shoot the hare! i think it was made up by a load of dicks, in a office, who have never, set foot in the countryside in their sad lifes!

Ideation 8,216 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Biggest differences are - - More hunters. - More dickheads. - Less fox / hare. - Bullx are more popular. Quote Link to post
