Posting Pictures

So you put a pic up of a dead hare shot legally and fetched back by your lurcher = 100% legal, pic gets took down

 

Put up a video of foxes being legally killed on the lamp in Ireland also 100% legal, video stays up and everyone thinks its fine

 

1. Whats the difference both are 100% legal

 

2. Which 1 do you think does the most damage to fielsports

I've been told yesterday, rightly or wrongly that there are a couple of cases up very shortly in Ireland where intentionally causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal are the charges bein pressed upon lurcher lads that were caught doing a bit of foxing by night.... Food for thought!!

a few years ago here in Ireland we got a fox on the first weekend in September.so up the field I went got the dead fox.cut the tail for the lads in gun club. Back to the motors I decide to give the hounds the carcass. 1st fox of the season after all. A young lad with us recorded that part and posted it on Facebook.any way week or so later front page of Sunday world here was the pictures with accusations of us baiting a live animal. The gardai were involved.and a file was sent to the DPP.I wasn't charged because I cut the tail from the fox and that proved he was dead before he was ragged. I didn't know it was been recorded.but because I owned them I should of been more vigilant.so lads that was here in Ireland so u still have to be wary what ya post.

from my own experience they check everything, Facebook etc etc

Ye that's y I ain't on it. The young lad is in fairness.but I do check what he posts

I remember as a boy reading Jack Ivester Lloyd in the shooting times about his days out with his bobberty pack of terriers. The details he put into how the pack worked a rabbit or rat along a hedgerow, the excitement he built up in my mind just reading his words, the kill as such was a necessary anti climax, you just did not want that hunt to end. Hunting is not about the trophies it's all about the hunt. Perhaps I should say It should be all about the hunt.

 

Today it seems unless you can post photos of bigger bags than the last man your a failure. People like that are not really true hunters, just glory seekers out to get their ego's stroked.

 

As always just my opinion.

No big bags this week end but had some fun

Just one question, just for the ones that were hunting more than 15 years ago. What did you do before internet forums and digital camera's? The internet and digital photography have a lot to answer for IMHO.

The crux of that statement Darbo, is that you would like them to refresh your own memories, little else.

Funny thing is my memory is not what it was, but I can still remember vividly the first rabbit my first lurcher caught on the lamp. I can even remember how the rabbit ran, how the dog turned it off the fence and stayed between the fence and the rabbit till it caught it. I would love to say it was a text book catch but it was more a war of attrition that the dog won. After that it is only the memorable nights that stick out, but not for the size of the bag but for catches he made that he should not have. There is no way any photo would enhance the memories I have in my mind any more than they are.

 

Each and every dog I have had has a place in my mind, and when prompted with threads like this I sometimes look back in my minds eye and have a little chuckle to myself.

True enough TC, what was the question again?

[Gilbey 1,478]

Before digital Tesco's once refused to print my photos because of there content "eh ?? You must have them mixed up with some pervs?" No there's dead rabbits on some of them "have you not seen the meat counter its full of dead things?"

[johnny boy68 11,726]

People been posting pics for ages mun. LOL

[Haiddheliwr 1,911]

I remember trying to post a wanted advert on the Freeads the yellow paper and the woman on the end of the phone saying it was not allowed, after quite a while arguing she put the phone down on me, the item that I wanted Brian Plummers book " NATHAN A PIT FIGHTING DOG" unbelievable but true!

Same here mate, had some top class coursing dogs that I have no pics of and my most favourite bitch I have owned was a first cross bull greyhound owned her from a pup till she died a 13, killed her last fox at 11, well known round here and never let me down on the lamp and with the terriers but not got one pic of any of these dogs you just didn't take pics back then but wish I had.

Reading and observing this post and being a unenvoled 3rd party.seems to me that the picture that was reported and some of the commants is just pure jealously.there is no proof that the hare was shot or wasnt shot.or that ferrets were used.absolute joke on hunting forum.and to make threats of reporting to rspca.jelous bullies who should be ashamed of your selves

Just my thoughts.tight leads

Thanks for the input, but I suggest you read it again. No picture was reported. No-one is jealous and no-one threatened reporting anyone to the rspca.

 

So kindly mind who you are calling bullies.
