04fox8 168 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Can anyone enlighten me on this - 'From 2013 anyone wishing to set a snare MUST be accredited'. (From BASC Web Site) Any snare, only Fox snare, why, how much, where, by whom, and when??? And the benefit of said accreditation would be???? - Just getting to use them?? Appologies if this has been covered before, but I had a look about and couldn't find anything. Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 all about the money, same old, same old. blame it on idiots and proffit from the publicity Quote Link to post
events co-ordinator 353 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 SACS are just one of the groups authorised by the Govt you obviously have a problem with that so take the Basc course. SACS being a value for money outfit offer it to members and non members at a price to cover our costs but hey if that does'nt suit ! Glenn has been consulted extensively by a number of different orgs but the legislation kicks in early next year so all the organizations need to run them so there is no backlog. SACS is run to provide a service to its members and its members expect these courses to be available to them we will continue to do this at a reasonable price. I would suggest you contact whatever ORGANIZATION you are a member of and do the course they provide but remember this in the event you misunderstand the instructions of the course SACS provides up to £100,000 pounds legal fees insurance in case you get nicked.

events co-ordinator 353 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Organizations are there for the benefit of their members as stated above SACS are a value for money outfit but if you feel you are not getting enough Bang for your Buck from your representitive body go to the AGM and have your say any one can stand outside and criticize the right way to go is change the things you dont like BUT you have to be a member to do that and that takes comitment.

jasher 55 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ali, Was that the one for this new legislation where tags will have to be fitted to all snares with an Id number from the police like Larsons? Quote Link to post

Jasher that's the one, a lantra course done by the sga they had a big push to get folk on it well before the law came in.. Drags have to be something like 1/2 ton, lol. Recommend ground anchors, no setting near fences walls water trees bushes or thick vegetation. Blah blah blah Quote Link to post
