Romany 1,065 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 had the pleasure of haddinton court always got a result there ,but some laughs worse time ws miners strike 85 if it moved eat it if it looked like coal wood burn it etc, its afunny old courst shows thwe police for what they are ,att times lammermuirs i think i no were that is lol , used to be ahaven for rabbs biggets day ever with pair of dogs seven ferrt ws 68 great days up there camping fishing etc , romany you could make afilm for poacher sover the years there had some [bANNED TEXT] laugh and some got lie downs , duns was worse and berwick not much better , halycon days Aye whin I think we were going up a bit before yourselves..and you seem to know the area..early 1969 my first excursion there, when we were longnetting around Abbey St Bathams, Longramacus, Gifford, Reston, Preston, Cranshaws etc, etc etc...with some of the best longnetters this country has produced, princes of darkness...the Lammermuirs stretch well over to the west and around Carfaemill we poached, then ended up with the best farm Ive ever known for rabbits, got the farm in August and between then and the end of the year had over 3000 rabbits (dogs, longnets at night and ferreting) yes it was a haven, nothing but netting drop in traps and rats there now.. I also told a bit of a white lie before, Ive actually been done twice, see what happens when you get old, but, its never been a thing Ive bragged about, wish I could have said Ive never been caught in my life-time..Was at Duns Sheriffs court, 1970 or there abouts, a Sheriff Patterson, remember him looking over his small square rimmed glasses at me, conviscatged the best little air rifle Ive had for nailing bunnies out the car window, Webley mark 3, underlever with a white disc set in the butt... Berwick court Ive never had the privilage of attending..but, I worked my dogs with the Hon PJW Fairfax (mentioned in Walshes Lurchers and Longdogs, dogs Flax and Fluke, old flukey was a mean old dog on the foxes, but thats another story, or maybe a fiilm whin) on his land on the borders, and he was a magistrate there for a time..so maybe a good job I didnt go in front of him..but, may have helped my cause..who knows. Poaching at these times was seen as a nuicance offence, now, its wildlife crime, £30 fines are a thing of the past..If you get a five hundred pound fine now matie, take it that youve been let off..hope it gets thrown out through..keep us informed Quote Link to post

shamus 36 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Aye, patterson despised poachers, particularly fish as he was a keen angler, but he also pretty much despised anyone in front of him. I remember him giving some lads £600 each for getting caught in a field with lamps and dogs, no quarry at all keith was keith simpson, pretty sure you,re dad slipped his dogs on the fens? I have talked to you on the phone a few times, usually about deerhounds, i got that bitch pup from trevor that you were maybe going to get. I still have a bit of permission at longformacus but the last two bad winters have f****d it, we served our apprenticeships at pease bay/dunglass, used to be covered but pretty bare nowadays 1 Quote Link to post

Yokel Matt 918 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 If it wasn't you (this time ) then you've been hard done by and I hope it gets quashed. Come on though fellas - you all know the score whether you believe its your god given right or not. Poaching has consequences (getting caught does anyway) so man up and deal with it. 2 Quote Link to post
