huntingladjohn 14 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 during the good old days... out of curiosity what was it like to get permission back then, how did you go about getting permission for deer fox and hare was it easier to get permission for one and not the other? and would you have to pay for the right to hunt like deer stalking would the landowner want anything?

wirral countryman 2,110 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I never had any permission for anywhere till the late 80's and so everything was illegal we caught anyway,most farmers were'nt that bothered as there was only a few lads soft enough to go out on wild nights and most farmers were tucked up in bed,the best thing was no helicopter,when I think of some of the chases we had by coppers and keepers we'd of been f*cked if they'd had a chopper,no dna testing back then either so the chances of getting caught afterwards was rare,also I'd say there was a lot more gear about back then apart from deer which have gotten a lot more common in the past 10yrs and the fines now are a lot more severe for deer,that dna has beaten us all and there's no going back now,WM 2 Quote Link to post
