Thread: Poacher caught

Just think how many poachers are caught by the land owner and not dobbed in, a good hiding and a silage bail on there car usually gets the message through..

I have previously wondered how many missing person cases started this way, bet it's n=>1

This week I finally plucked up the guts to call around a few places in hopes of getting on some private land to shoot some goats. On the first call the owner was over the moon to just have someone ask and not just go take their liberties, he even mentioned a few spots that hold deer. I can't help but feel all these poachers could do better with a bit of manners and try the front door, it'd likely pay off.

@Louie well done... door knocking is the way to go, to seal the deal drop off the farmer a box of beer as you never know who he might also put you in contact with!

and just how many repercussions fall heavily afterwards....."the war of the flea" was an interesting book on guerilla warfare,one take away from that book is the land owner has a hell of a lot of ground to protect where as the flea can strike and run where ever they like....a bullet into someones 20k prize bull... would take the gloss off your day..a few holes poked in top of silage cover will stuff thousands of dollars of winter feed....
Iv been the landowner dealing with poachers......have a tale to tell of a certain wannabe politition from another pub not too far from here..... its no fun trying to keep them out.
