way back in the day i was with my 8 year old son off permission,actually know where near it trying to catch some burger meat.when i spotted 1 i slipped the dog and off she went.next thing there was a mighty bang and the keeper was 10 yds away looking at me in all his camo gear.i had to stay there and argue with him till she came back and he kept firing into the air.my son was so scared he started to cry and wanted to go but i couldn't leave till she came back.

Just a few lessons learned early one 1. its not the best idea to ferret open ground without permission but i was young and wet behind the ears then. 2 pick a good parking place when out lamping.parked on the edge of a housing estate got back to the van after what was a poor night rabbit wise first time on the ground. Got in a police car came in front up to the bumper and one did the same from behind. Asked for names addresses etc checked them through. Stroked the dogs looked in the bags and said i know you are only after a bit of sport but dont come back here. He said someone had rang them from one of the houses as soon as we got out of the van. In fairness the copper treated us great and let us go on our way this was in the mid 80s.

AO Kieren Ritchie. River Leader running into the mighty Tweed. The biggest was the one that I collected the following day which the Numpties missed and I sold for quite a few quid in Bearsden. Didn't pay the fine though and I never did get my car back. Just about 11 lbs. hey ho, happy days. Jok.

How long ago was this Jok

Eh up Brambles. I would say about 1973 ish. The Sherrif was Patterson and he wasn't a happy chappie.I don't know if you much about the game (am assuming you do) but the plates to which I refer were white painted aluminium about 2ft X 1ft payed on or in the run. All you had to do was shine a dimmish torch on the plate and be there when the fish went over it and with the clique,gaff the bugger and run like hell. Well maybe we got a bit greedy.

Always remember the first time I seen it done i was amazed at how they stood out lol,

[jok 3,323]

Well son, many on here would believe it. I've done things on and in the Tweed area. Depending on your age would tell me whether you did or not. I'm not being patronising in any way but there are some seiously funny stories about poaching and related happenings in that area. Most involved plod but seeing how I played rugby with them a lot was overlooked. Jok.
