woodman 131 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Last night i took a stroll,the furthest i have been yet, to apiece of land that looked promising only to discover three men who i heard before i saw them,slightly the worse for drink i believe,they were walking the plough shining torches this way and that,taking the occasional shot (sounded like a .410 ) and generally making a racket,so not wishing to be mistaken for some form of quarry i withdrew and carried on strolling across an adjacent field,as i reached the far hedge i heard the sound of a vehicle stop where i had just come from and the night took on a blue flashing hue.As to the end result i have no idea,maybe it will appear in the local newspaper next week.Anyway,continuing into the next field i followed my usual procedure as it held a few rabbits (as to how many i am not sure,i will check again tonight as the general racket probably sent most to ground ).So as it turned out,worthwhile in the end,for me anyway.

I took a stroll in daylight past where i saw the three men with torches and a gun,there is freshly broken hedge,where i assume they gained entry and a scattering of beer cans.this sort of behaviour can only be bad for hunting at all levels.

Guest Navek Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Got acouple lads like that round me...can follow them from field to field by bottles cans cigaret packets and broken fences......bloody shame for everyone else Quote Link to post
woodman 131 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) if they had permission why were the police called? i suspect from the near by cottages because of the drunken racket they were making,and more to the point why do i need permission to look over a gate at the countryside at night with NV.

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I often come across folk out like that a night, I tend to just move on and go elsewhere seeing as attention now on them or I sometimes sit and have a laugh to myself whilst watching the foolish folk stumble about thinking they a cross between bear grylls and ole man Attenborough lolI must be going to the wrong places never come across anyone like hat at night Edit to say must be going to the right places more like Edited October 19, 2015 by CushtyJook 2 Quote Link to post
