be on your guard its the ranger

[shotgunwilly 177]

To those who run there dogs in the south of Ireland for this past three weeks the national wildlife trust (park rangers)have been out on force around louth and meath looking for illegal coursing.They have been threatening farmers that if they let us on there land for coursing they will fine them 1000 euros,they have been searching vichicles following diffrent squads just to try and ruin there day.I am putting this out for use to be on your guard.

I don't have dogs,, except me sheepdog, but as a farmer I can't stand those rangers. Stories I could tell ya about the P****'s even the head lad down here.

Have to say the little dealings i've had with them i've found individual rangers sound and reasonable but get the impression the managment side of NPWS is dominated by tossers. Just like every other state agency in this country!

But theres no ban in Ireland

Thier is on irish hares I think.

[Paid 935]

Since 2004 occasional temporary Special Protection Orders (SPOs) have prohibited the killing or taking, or the sale or purchase of hares.

 

 

The current special protection order will run for the period 17 April 2006 until 31 March 2007

This is ONLY in Nothern Ireland folks. If you have written permission from land owners and park your car off the road in the famr yard, their will be no problem.

I know this, as i have spoken to Des crofton, who knows the law, concerning hare coursing with lurchers.

Hares are only protected in Northern Ireland and only in season in the south. They can be hunted from the 26th sep till the 28 th of Feb in southern Ireland.

Since I know no one here would ever think about violating the ban, please let your friends who do, know that I said to be careful, and stick to the land owners you (I mean they...) trust the most. And tell them I wish them all the luck.

I live and hunt in Louth and have never met one of these "Rangers" or even heard of them. Who are they?

I got a pup their last week off a man in Ardee and he said the exact same thing.

[Guest Frank]

What power does the rangers have down south ?

 

Basicly, if you are cought without a hare hunting permit, they can prosecute you and will get the Police involved aswell. Its a big fine im told

Plenty of trailers parked around here at the weekend, mostly northern cars. Friendly enough boys if you bump into them when out shooting but I'd say if a ranger started hastling them he'd get a swift
