Some Farmers Are Clueless

ive lost ground ,through no fault of my own, had acres not a lot but get few runs on it, was always told by owner that if go lamping bell him , which I did . Well was getting night sorted out, so phone him , he said w\s you on the other night, I said no as I told him I phone 1st, before I go on . He said had few other landowners who live by moaning , about lamp al over the place, so said its better if don't come on any more , as i don't want any lamping on or by my place. Well what twat of human being I done no wrong but lost ground for feck all. But I learned big lesson that day say feck all and just go on, you may as well bcause if you don't , somebody else will. the days of me knocking doors are over, ok if bump into somebody in a pub or etc. meaning nothing planed might drop it out in chat, but that's it. if you got ground great look after it, but some people are very fickle like as above , you never know whats around the corner .?

Just be careful. One of our biggest shoots has given us orders to shoot any dogs on sight, apart from two labs that walk on there.. he's always got livestock around, anything from sheep to cattle, plus it's a deer shoot.

 

And before you go off on one about what you would do if your dog dropped dead bear in mind (A ) we're on night vision so you wouldn't even know we were there, and (B ) we carry firearms, skinning knives, machetes and 6 foot shooting sticks. And there's always more than one !

 

Just be careful and check all round for empty parked vehicles

if any of my dogs got shot pal the gun would be wrapped around the shooters head

There is a farmer where I live who has.shot many dogs he once shot a traveling man's dog and dropped it at his feet 2 weeks later his new tractor got burnt out.If he catches you on his land it's best to just pick your dog up and.cary it off

 

As said before by someone (who appears to know) the dog has to be actually attacking the livestock with intent to harm it. as far as I am aware, and I do try to keep up with shooting regs, if the dog is just harassing livestock you can't shoot it. I think the only exception is pregnant sheep as they lose the lambs at the drop of a hat

. Either way, I think you would have great difficulty about shooting what is after all a pet.

 

if anyone know different then tell.

mate all I know for fact is this cnut Will shoot ya dog and not even blink some times we get on his farm with a lamp and no dog for a week get him chasing about for feck all then Ave a night on there coz he thinks your still winding him up

What you want to do is get a remote game caller and download a barking dog. Stick it in the hedge and work it from a few hundred yards away

 

You'll have him run ragged in a few minutes

Heard plenty of stories of keepers etc shooting dogs, think a lot of them nr me are started just to try and deter people rather than actual events that's happened, well I personally don't k ow anyone who it's happened to but do hear a lot of a friend of a friend type thing.. but that's just by me, I bet there's a few cranky farmers out there though. I do abit on an estate the keepers sound, and I have permission everywhere after midnight...

I know for a fact a bloke from very near me did jail for murdering a landowner who shot his dog. With the landowners own shooter!

I'm sure the law on shooting dogs worrying is that it should only be done after every other reasonable option has been attempted, after all a dog is still someone's property and the farmer could find himself in all sorts of bother if he just shoots at the drop of a hat.

So what you're saying is, the farmer who has livestock in fields, is not entitled to give his representatives (for that's what we legally are) instruction to remove any possible harm to his livestock that not present legally ???.

 

Look it up men, you may be surprised, and do you think we're the only ones who are instructed ??? You must have your eyes shut.

 

get a grip, you are illegally trespassing with possible intent to harm livestock. . You made the choice, not the farmer.

 

You need to check the law.

 

You are NOT entitled to shoot a dog just for being in a field with livestock.

 

Oh, and I'd make the most of your FAC while you can. With that kind of attitude you won't be keeping it for long

 

The fact is that just as some dog owners give other dog owners a bad name, so FAC holders give other FAC holders a bad name
