cheers poachers

[stealthy1 3,964]

Kids eh! Once when I was twelve I got a smack in the mouth and a boot up my arse for asking for my nets back from a gamekeeper just outside Doncaster, got the nets back, did'nt ferret there again.

I can understand your frustration Sue of having"poachers" on your land.But i've done it in the past & the few times i've had me collar felt i never left my ferts underground.However i'm grown up now( ) & would'nt poach i value my ferts too much.

It pisses me off when they leave the land in a state,litter,no backfilling but i'll see the landowner to make him aware of people coming on to the land & that keeps me in the clear

The jills got a better home so that's a good positive to come out of this

Its easy enough saying they where just kids but say they stole somebodies ferret to go out again ?

noone stole it mate. Sue just picked up after them. We dont know the situation. If it was on a keepered estate or on a poultry type farm leaving someones ferret their could be a reall annoyance to the landowner. If we ever loose one we make sure someone is there all the time if there is poultry near by

they was trespassing on land ,they opted to abandon their ferret i did not steal it,there is a difference

[redeye jedi 39]

its not theft its rehoming an abandoned animal
