But I am not talking about rough sheep country where the had to be killed, full stop.

I can see where the old man was coming from. But we are all in this together rifle people and hound people. Don't give the antis any ammunition showing them that there is a division in our ranks. Happy hunting to all whatever you do

What you going to do neil c when you go up the farm to kick f**k out of him and he throws you around the yard and send you on yr way cause some of these farmers are big strong things I still think burn the barn down easier

1. dogs strays onto farmers land especially at this time of year when all ewes will have been tipped and has form for not being diplomatic can shoot on site without anyone's permission or say so.... so will not have broken any laws.

 

2. anyone running hounds and has the proper hunting ethics will know his ground inside out, will know the farmers numbers and call midweek to let them know you will be in that area on a certain day, explain you will have men there will know the country inside out and the boundaries and to be honest the fox will usually break the same run's, but its hunting anything can happen so call and explain it at least to the less diplomatic farmer.. that way if he sees 4 dogs running loose roaring miles from anywhere he will know they're the hunts dogs.... respect is the name of the hunting game...after all your in the farmer's fields hunting!

 

3. Talking about battering a man in his own backyard probably in front of his family to lol or burning his barns down or cutting his fences or killing his livestock for refusing you permission to hunt on HIS land.... are yous hunting men? I think not, you don't even have respect for humans by the sounds of it so would never respect the landowners say id hate to think how yous treat quarry!

There have been a right few run ins over the years between the footpacks around our area on the Irish border over the years and sheep farmers. As well as sheep farmers some packs have barring orders with no hounds crossing land that can be traced back to non-hunting issues, all sorts of rows over objections to planning permission, arguments about work one lad done for a farmer, rows over rights of way, the list goes on and not all the farmers fault. If you going to hunt over a farmers land you must remember that your actions of the hunting field matter as much as it does when your hunting. That said this case in Cork was interesting. The law is not always on the land owners side.

I was out on a bit of permission a few weeks ago, trying a couple of burrows, old boy give me permission about five years ago, don't know if he still alive, he rent the field to a son in law and so on.i think the dog may have been marking a rabbit this time, it was a bit strange. A man cut across the other field, a Russell,, a beagle. I tried it again,? I walked up, dog when in another, excited, had to dig it out?, don't know if Fox, rabbit, was back at my mother, and listening on, could also see, I thought it was 2 deer up down, back of house and land. I thought maybe donkey's, no panic. Drove through the village, no problem, saw people on there way, then a little terrier thing in the road, trying to get his moment, yapping, I drove on and some time later seen some great hounds scenting around another farm, Fox, no harm

So it seems the hunt had to go and look for the missing hounds. They didn't know where they were at first but,somehow know that they had possitively not chased or worried the sheep. How does that work then.

I have had dog attacks years ago,so been there.

 

Lots of pr1cks posting on this thread that think the landowners pay all the rents,mortgages,contractors,machinery and wages ect just so doley dossers,junkies and freeshit scumbags can help themselves.

And before anyone starts, I have had plenty of lurchermen on over the years- only reasonable and respectable people though.

 

OH! nearly forgot,also the hunt called in uninvited once. Scared the crap out of me at first. My fear was unfounded though as the hounds were lovely and the sheep carried on grazing while the hounds zig zagged through them.

 

And I would have shot dogs if I had been there when the attacks took place.

When you say "ATTACKS" by the "DOGS" I am so glad that you were there to witness this. Perhaps you can enlighten us all as to what actually happened!!

Alright I will then.

Please bear in mind that dog owners don't approach landownwers,livestock keepers etc and own-up. The damage is sometimes found some hours later or even a month or two later at lambing time.

My first witnessed event was when I was working in the boss's garden and heard the ewes in alarm and a male voice shouting.

The friend of a neigbours daughter was walking her overweight doberman in the wood of the other neigbour on the other boundary.

The public footpath comes through the wood and down the edge of the 14 acre field. In the wood he decided to let the dog run free.

That's right,you've guessed what happened next,suffice to say it ran ahead and jumped the electric fence.

I drove down to the yard and looked across the field to see it happening. I had only a 20 bore side by side which I had lent to my boss to try out. At the big house his wife gave me gun and a hanfull of 12 bore cartridges so things were really going well.

By the time I got the right ammo,run down the garden and through the spinney things had developed somewhat. Two or three ewes down and two hobbling and showing blood. The man,white British who happened to be a Buddist monk in training was twenty yards from me at this point having chased the dog across the field said "I don't want to see this bit" and ran between me and the dog.

The dog at this moment looked up and saw me and stood still (panting) knackered. The man was able to put the collar and lead on and left saying "send us the bill".

The Boss lady got the village Copper round and I was called up to the house the vet having just left after treating seven ewes for wounds and shock. I described the dog as a rotwieler,showing my level of expertise.

The Policeman had already interveiwed the Monk so knew exactly what the dog was. I was shocked that a Monk would lie in that he said the collar was on the dog and he had only removed the lead. I positively saw the collar attached to the lead and watched him fumble to buckle it back on. By the time the Boss got the vet bill the Monk had gone abroad again and the owners were not pursued for the money.

This is the pure truth and one of three events that I witnessed. There were times when I had a rash of still born lambs,like 60% of births over 6-7 day period in a lambing season of 4-5 weeks. I was advised that this was probably the result of dog/dogs running them two months before lambing time.
