    Firstly, are you sure they are lamping deer, maybe it's foxes ?

    If you are SURE it's deer contact Gardai and/or game ranger ?

    I think theres a licence available to lamp deer in certain circumstances, someone confirm ?

    You can get lamping for deer on a section 42 permit

    Cheers Jonty, that's it.

    Maybe it's being done legally ?

    the main crop that needs protection is forestry, espically hardwoods and they need it all year around.

    grassland for grazing could be considered a crop. TBH I thought section 42s were only available during the summer months.

    no these are just men out looking for heads there was a few cases where some one shot the deer and took the head and left the rest laying there in a build up area for everyone to see , don`t get me wrong theres nothing wrong with wanting a head but ya should take all with you and use the meat too

    I heard there is a lot of this head-hunting going on. Trophies (head) taken and body left. What a shame, I know loads of people who'd take 'free' meat off shooters !

    i've heard of this sort of cr@p happening up here before, it's a real sin. I would love if the guys at it where caught red handed and hit with the full force of the law...These muppets give the rest of us a really bad image and name in the eyes of the public....
