Excellent reply mate, let's see someone pick the bones out of that. 2 Quote Link to post

When the ground is to soft to drive on and you've lots of land to cover then leaving them sometimes isn't a option mate,who knows,but if they used to have regular hare shoots where good numbers were shot you have to ask whats happened to make them scarce as they didn't used to be did they so something other than shooting them has happened?.Maybe it's because these days a lot of keepers are just bird feeders who don't seem to have time to trap properly any more even though they have time saving gadgets to use???.

That still don't make it right fireman ,and I know of twenty eight long ears shot then dumped on a drive my mate got sickened finished with job .it happens maybey not every shoot but some it does that fella looks to be a basic full wander and sees that has a great achievement I see it like this shot trapped it don't make no difference it's the respect one gives the animal when dead use the carcass either fa edible human or the jukels or Eva animal needs flesh ta feed.i see it like this I never been a man that his overly fond of the shooting scene ,don't condone it but I hunt with a jukel that mastered can be to much fa morons that seem to be crewing in ta the hunting world more so these days.once again what a wanker he seems ta have found a gold one .atb bill 1 Quote Link to post
Moocher71 4,049 Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 I see photos of end bag of hare shoot on fens last yr ,279 hares in one morning . the lad doing the wright up said it was like being at Waterloo , ok for guns to shoot what they want but running a few with a jook is going to get ya took if ya get caught and loose motor and dog and go jail for running a hare or two yet these fools kill them all . the ban as dealt the hare a bad hand ,more are killed now than ever befor by guns . they as always been poachers and always will be ,it's just how you do it ,going on land with 4x4 and jooks leaping out back and causing damige ain't poaching to me ,it's criminal .gates Brocken ,equipment stolen and crops driven over ,no wonder farmers don't like it , poaching is when no one knows you been there apart from you and catch is safely tucked away . most the land I work I'm poaching but I go on my own and take only what I need and its just me and my jook . 6 Quote Link to post
