kristian 9 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Now before anyone starts giving me abuse this is not something i do as my mate who i hunt with has loads of permission. I'm just wondering what you'd get done for if you was poaching rabbits with ferrets? I usually shoot and if you got caught with a gun poaching obviously this could be a very serious offence (tresspassing with a gun) but what about ferrets? Just got me thinking earlier would you just get a slap on the wrist or maybe some rice shot in your ass Any one know anyone who been caught and what were the consequences? Like i said earlier i'm not intending to do it just curious! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 You cannot be charged with 'Trespass in pursuit of game', as rabbits are not classed as game. You can get charged with 'Trespass in pursuit of coney' though. Sorry to split hairs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
