Mark_mjs93 164 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Got out piking this morning. On my way back to the car I almost tripped over a large black bag chucked in the undergrowth. Thought nothing of it to start with until I saw something that looked animal-like sticking out. I cut the bag open and found 5 brace of mallards both males and females and a couple of braces of pheasants. Decomposing, braced with nylon cord around their necks and chucked to rot in a hedgerow. Firstly, what a complete WASTE of shot game. Secondly, whoever did it should be ashamed of themselves, dumping a load of shot game in a public car park in a high traffic area (a cinema car park) what the hell where they thinking? Hardly gives the best impression of our sport. Then there is the fact that this is on the edge of a nature reserve, 12-14 dead game birds, in a plastic bin liner, braced with nylon cording. A fox had tried having a go at the bag but hadn’t got far. I know Charlie’s aren’t the most popular animal but it’s hardly fair to let them choke to death on chewed plastic bags or nylon cord wrapped up in its guts. Honestly, it’s an absolute disgrace, we get enough bad press as it is without creating more for ourselves! What were they thinking... Jeese. I have pictures of it all as I need to get it all shifted but honestly, it doesn’t make for pretty viewing and I have no plan to share it. So if anyone in Bedford knows a game shoot missing a bin liner of game birds I know where they can collect it ?? ? it also topped off a poor session with a poor end too! River is right in flood, nothing was biting and my few good spots are flooded out so not fishable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark_mjs93 164 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have absolutely no problem with someone disposing of shot game. There are loads of reasons shot game might not be eaten, surplus to needs, badly shot damaged, accidentally left in a boot in the summer (saw that happen once... not petty). But if you don’t want it, and you aren’t giving it to your dogs. De-brace it, drive out to the country and toss it under a hedge. Or bin it. Or burn it. Or bury it. Don’t bin bag it and leave it in a bloody car park! If it’s wildfowl it should have been shot with non toxic shot, give it to ferrets, or bird of prey centres might have it off ya. Hoenstly, it’s boiled my blood and absolutely ruined my day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I get annoyed with guns who don't take birds or game home. If you're not going to use it, don't shoot it ! 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
