One of of my colleagues is part of a syndicate that run a little shoot. They all take turns through out the year to do the work involved in rearing the birds. They pay the landowner for allowing them to use his land and then all take turns to be the beaters or the guns during the season.

None of them are particularly wealthy.

(Yesterday they shot 12 brace, which gave them a surplus, a brace of which got dropped off at my front door

)

Have those banjo-playing dribblers still got pictures of variously crossbow-shot and partially dismembered cats displayed across the pages?

I'll be honest chap, I've not come across that side of it yet - nor that bit you mentioned about the rspca prank calls. Shooting a cat with a cross-bow has bugger all to do with poaching really does it?!?! That's probably just a few nut-cases

please don't tar everyone with the same brush though. I personally dont see any problem with trapping and shooting wild animals, in the wild (i.e. not on a farm) - that doesn't make me a banjo paying dribbler.

thats true , so long as the land you are hunting and traping on is one you have permission to hunt on and you have the insurances in place you need if you are using weapons or setting snares in placs the public might be going. I am still looking for a suitable area to use as they are in short supply in my area.

Trapping and shooting innocent creatures? Shame on you.

Firstly, how do you get to brownbears website, and secondly, I'm using an air rifle. What would you describe as 'public land'?
