Philluk 181 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Bearing in mind this is a deer stalking & management forum it appears most of the comments and likes are in favour of the poacher, comments like "good on him" etc. does that mean that most people on here are happy with "a poacher". it could be that some on here know that if they say something against the law they will get slated by some other departments. Whether the land is shot or not does that give the rights to anyone to poach? For those who don't have an issue with a poacher do you have land, you do the vermin or deer management? do you have a problem if poachers came on your land? And referring to my initial comment about this being a stalk & management forum what sort of management is there in supporting a poacher? Bearing in mind this is a public forum and has a section for youngsters what signals are being sent out to the younger ones who come on here to read stories and see what is going on? Whether he is 70, 50,30 or 16 the law should be the same and for the fact he has done it before and poachers are not good for our industry shouldn't we all condemn what he is doing. I notice no one commented on my earlier reply, I asked those who say "good on him" would you say the same if it was a Romany Gypsy doing it. 1 Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Real sporting see if a deer can out run a bullet ffs I bet the old f****r doesnt have all the latest night vision and infra red dots etc let him take the odd one plenty of land owners used to allow the odd poachers perk now its their greed and corporate dollars they are interested in.Same on the shoots thay even slaughter 5/600 hares over a couple of days a season and call it sport.
