can a member of the public stop you from hunting we were on a chase with hounds we were 2 feilds away from a house an the owner came to us and went mad he told us to get to f*** away from here or he would call the garda the person that owns the land knows we hunt it and is glad we hunt it so has the house owner the right to chase us

If what you are doing is legal and you have permission from the land owner tell him to get the boat.

ya tell him p-sss off that he is trespassing:mad:

And he can only complain about the noise from the hunt if it is continuous and regular, not the odd day during the season. As said above, ask him if he has permission to be on the land, otherwise he is trespassing and you can call the Gardai.

In this situation you are a guest on the land and have no right to tell someone else they can't be there. Maybe the landowner gave them permission to be there too. My advice would be to tell the neighbour, politely, that you have permission from the landowner, and that you'd be happy to talk to the Gardai if they want to call them

we used to hunt the land a lot in 08 we went back a few weeks before christmas 09 an this man comes out going mad he never took any notice of us before i cnt understand why the big turnabout maybe he has reached his midlife crisis

Did he give any reason he thought you should not be there? eg. believed hunting was not allowed by the landowner. If not, sounds like he has mental issues.

He could be just one of these boys that is not happy unless he is mouthing about something plenty of them around

he kept saying we dont want that sort of thing going on around here

Ranting on the same loop - ah well.....
Seriously if I were the farmer I'd have issues with sombody bullying in relation to who was allowed to do what on my land. Nothing wrong with hunting a few hounds, anyway you don't need anyone here to tell you that.

My guess would be that your farmer friend wouldn't mind the chance to tell yerman what's what. Might be worth getting his reaction, more than likely he'll encourage you to hunt in that spot.

In my experience the landowner might not want to 'fall out' with his neighbours....might be best to leave sleeping dogs lie and stay away for a while ?

Good point. I would say it to the land owner and make him aware of what happened and then if he's still ok with you hunting, ask the neighbour (politely) whats his problem. I wouldnt go marching up to his door or anything but if you met him walking or something.
Maybe he caught the butt end of Matt Cooper and the Ward Union Hunt and thinks its banned:p Could be any reason.

Any of the people around here who give out or pass remarks about hunting are townies, rich from the boom that moved out here and think they can tell everyone whats wrong and right, now that they're country folk too:rolleyes: (no offence to anyone)
IMO farmers dont pay much heed to them anyway.

Just carry on and leave'm stew. If you're a 100% that you have permission and are doing nothing illegal give him a big Foxtrot Oscar tablet in the form of carrying on your legitimate passtime.

Just to be sure check with your pall the farmer, that bucko might become a bit of a nuisance in times to come.

Yeah the country side is full of them giving out about all sorts of things. However I would say that its a big problem with the ward union hunt too.... I'ld say a lot of them are townies as well and are a bit out of touch with people in the countryside, over whose and land and villages they are hunting through.

gavlaw

well i was talking to the farmer today an the man has had a bad experience earlyer in the year a few bad eggs from another town shot his cat they wernt in the field they were driving on the road at the front they must of been lamping the area an poor cat got a .22 round in its head the garda were called an the people were caught. so he has a dim view about people with guns now but iv still got the all clear from the farmer to hunt his land cos the land has been hunted on long before the house was there [there is a god]:):p

gavlaw

went out on sunday to where we were chased from. the farmer came us an showed us about 10 places covered with fox holes that we never seen we tried 5 holes in 5 diff places an got 3 fox f***ing deadly:D:D:D:D:D:D

Sorry deeks, only seen this now. I dont know feck all about the Ward Union, but a hunt down the road has all sorts, Some country folk but i would say most of them would be well off. Although the one that passes us isnt too bad, they went through our land once without permission but did no harm.
On one of my permissions the farmer gave them permission, they broke through a ditch. Cattle got in and destroyed the barley. He wasnt to happy but thankfully we havnt had to put up with that ****e yet.

Thats good news. Happy hunting.

Bunny has given the best advice. First thing to look after is your permission. Go through the farmer, you might hunt the land but it's not your name on the deeds People can be funny critters if you have dealings with them.

You are out doing something quiet legal and with permission off the land owner and get hassle because a shower of gob****es havent got a brain cell between them. To be quiet blunt about it its lads like that I have no sympathy for when they lose their licence.

gavlaw

well at least they were caught an im sure they lost there licence they wont be giving us people that respect the rules an love the sport bad publicity

homerhop

Yup but the sad thing about it is bad news seems to travel fast and **** sticks. For every step forward the shooting community do that is good it takes only one fool to put it back five.

At least there might be a few less signposts shot up in your direction.

gavlaw

true some people seem to hunt signposts rather than animals think its the fact there guaranteed a kill :rolleyes:

is it me or is hunting signposts a bit dangerous,,, (i know there a danger to us all, tellins us what direction to go when we get lost, even when some smart arse turns them), but when you shoot one of these dangerous signs, whats the chances of having a good back stop, only new to shooting and from what i'm told backstop is more important than any target?????

I'd say punching through the sign post takes a fair bit of energy out of the round. Nonetheless it's and incredibly stupid thing to be doing simply because of how it looks. People form opinions very quickly, first impressions and all that. So anyone with a gun is tagged a jackass or lunatic. People around me here have guns and to be blunt I wouldn't trust them with a catapult.
