Tallyho 181 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 maybe there is someone well educated enough( not me im thick as hell) who will volinteer to help this reporter dude right a correct article no one well educated is gonna take a reporter out there they are the lowest form of pond life known to man when was the last time you read a true article in a fecking paper i have done it with the sunday observer ,when they tried to make out the town i live in was just full of deer and salmon poachers ,took them on the rabbits and deer with dogs ,the reporter wrote how much he enjoyed him self and that the meal of venison was one of the best meals he had tasted ,also how good the dogs were at what they did ,not the crap that was published in the firt artical given to them by the local police about how the dogs would savage the deer to death and it took hours for them to die they even took a picture of one of the others with me with a large fallow stag on his shoulders and put it on the cover of their free colour supplement that comes with the paper ,he did have his face coverd up ,only people it offended was the local police because it showed the truith and they did not like it one bit .mind you things have changed since the ban .like the saying goes todays news is tomorrows chip paper ,and what does educated mean . jessy were you not asking the other day about what type of lurcher you should go for now your on here saying you took him out with the lurchers for a run on rabbit and deer, so you must know about lurchers so if thats the case why write the other topic. Yes i did ,to find out just what sort of people write on here ,and im glad i did because it was just what i expected ,the only place some of you do your hunting is on her. i have offerd some one to come for a night out lamping but they were to paranoid to take up my offer all because of the ban ,just goes to show i dont have to hide behind a computer i was willing to do what we used to do before this stupid ban was brought in ,mingle with other like minded people and learn from them . tallyho the offer is still open if your interested. why are you so intresed in the sort of person that writes on here, an so eager to take people out , you sound like an anti to me , you cant blame people for being parinoid, you aint been here two minits , and your wanting to take people out lamping, most people on here have there own permission so they are hardly likely to go with some one that sounds dodgy. Oh and thanks for the invite , but no thanks, i got plenty of land to lamp. Quote Link to post

Guest reload Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) The whole think is a bit iffy to say the least. I have dealt with the 'media' (tv, radio, news papers) on various ocassions and unless you really know what your doing, i would leave it to a more experienced person preferably from a field sports organisation. You cannot EVER trust the media, and you wont know what they print or air UNTIL it is too late to do anything about it. Edited February 25, 2009 by reload Quote Link to post
jakeuk1 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 The only way to get a better public perception about lamping is to use the media, like it or not. its a gamble but looking at the last article theres nothing to lose. A lot of people that think they can hide their sport and somehow its going to be accepted? thats what happened with foxhunting! too many people saw the one sided view put across due to anti's bombarding the media with stories, there were very few who invited the press hunting. the public will not take sides with a hostile secretive sport! whoever is going to do this has to be very carefull and do everything within the law and humanely. and dont forget to mention the free, low fat, great tasting wild meat. Make sure they are aware that nothing dies in vain. And good luck ! Quote Link to post
Guest wex Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think there is far too much negativity and sceptisism. You are only out rabbiting and carried out by a competent person there shouldnt be a problem. If you no the land and limit the runs and set the rules from the start there wont be any worries. Just walk them on a route what is quick safe and one were you are less likely to encounter any other quarry species. I think our cause needs more exposure and just like someone mentioned it is worth the gamble. As long as these people are given the rules and terms everything should go swimmingly. Its true the media twist and put slants on most stories, but this is an age old tradition. How could they possibly sensationalise a rabbiting jaunt with man/woman and dog. Just give it a go its worth the gamble and with all the recent bad press Hunting could do with a shot in the arm. cheers wex Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES have anything to do with them. Time and time again people have been left deflated and used when the papers have given them a chance to "put their side of the story across" the paper only wants sensationalism...NOTHING ELSE... YOU WILL COME OUT OF IT LOOKING A FOOL NO MATTER WHAT. THEY WILL SELECTIVELY QUOTE YOU AND TRY TO MAKE THINGS LOOK GRUESOME. NO MATTER WHAT THEY PROMISE THEY WILL RUN THE MOST SENSATIONAL STORY THEY CAN. PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. AVOID THE MEDIA AT ALL COSTS. Quote Link to post

scouser3038 1 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 What a sad state of affairs this sport is in, if people are reluctant to do something that is perfectly legal and has been practised for generations, lamping bunnies is one of the few things we are still allowed to do and something we should be proud of !!!! What better way to educate folk who have no experience of our chosen sport?? and what chance do we have of ever getting the ban repealed if we shut up shop when an oppurtunity like this comes along??? I feel the right person with the right dog on the right land could set a great example for our sport. I know too well that reporters are untrustworthy c**ts but this lad might be ok? who knows? but surely with all the bad press we've had lately a few paragraphs in a local rag isnt going to do much more damage if he is a wrongin, theres also a lot more accessible information out there for a reporter to get hold of if they wished to write a damaging article. I think if he gives a truthful report its a massive step forward for the hunting community a chance that is worth taking IMHO Scouser3038 Quote Link to post
pritch 335 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 forgive me if im wrong but isnt everyone on this site always slating anti's and people that are against hunting this is our chance to show people the hard work and dedication we put in to do the things we do and to show we have the upmost respect for our quarry and eveything and at the end of the day you have to give it a try to show these people that dont know anything about what we do how we take it so serriously and how dedicated we are to this sport and it might even open a few peoples eyes mate you don't know how wrong you are, they have picked their side & will not change sides they will edit what you say so it is taken out of context it's all been done before in print & on tele. If you are foolish enough to go ahead, get legal advice about having final say on the finished article & it can only be printed when you feel it is truthful, these people are scam artists DON'T go anywhere near it :nono: :nono: there are plenty of profsionals, books & dvd's, but if they can get Jimmy off the local council estate they will have a field day.ATB Pritch Quote Link to post
