    I thought tourist shooting was to be banned, When I used to partake the italians where the hardest shot, the americans easiest considering their Garb when touring.

    I always found it cruel and un necessary.:D

    Ok, Ill risk getting banned f**k it Id rather tell it as it is than sit back and let these C**ts laugh at genuine guys that love there hunting and cant get there licences renewed because they want it all for holiday hunters.
    Basically I cant name them but ID love to. <two people are thought to> have been organising for hunters to be refused there renewals for there firearms. These are men that have been shooting in a particular area all there lives. The two involved, and there could be more, have been and still are organising hunting holidays for wealthy tourists and charging upto 15k for a shot at a Red stag. The matter is now under investigation <snip>. They want to tie up the whole area for there own monitory gains and F**k anyone else that likes the sport. I cant really see anything coming of it though because we must remember,this is Ireland, although the revenue commisioners are said to have also taken a keen interest in this matter, now this is where thing just might get interesting,this being Ireland and all that.

    To say we're close to the line on that one is an understatement. I've snipped some things, I'm not sure what the hell the story is with the rest so we're going to ask our tame legal folk. But please don't go past what's been posted until we know better. Unless it's gone up in front of a judge in a court and not been struck out, consider it suspect.

    And so help me, if anyone prints a name of those involved, it's the last post you'll have on here, permanently. This whole thing is sub judice, for crying out loud.

    Like the line in the Apocalypse Now (?) movie -
    "How can you shoot children?"
    "Easy, you just dont't lead them too much."

    FUKIN HELL!!!! That is IRISH all right!! Hasnt anyone told them there is a recession on??I'd pay that for three weeks hunting in Croatia all included!!
    Or almost seven days hunting red deer in Catalonia Spain,with two female escorts from a well known high class escort agency thrown in as well,who have a recipocary deal with the hunting outfit.There is busisness sense!![Not that you would be up to much after a days deer hunting:)]

    So unless those lads are offering somthing like ,I dont think there will be much custom for them.:rolleyes:
