yes hunter it will be solved, your absolutely right.
Along with the drug problem in our country and the gang problem in our cities.
Or how about the drink driving problem we have on our country roads or underage driking in our pubs.............
Persistant offenders dont care about authority or consequences, all they see is a chance for a quick buck or a quick fix,( they get a buzz off what they do) and when they get caught someone else fills their place.
And there are alot of people making alot of money lamping deer, believe me!!!

Unfortunatly, have to agree with you.

Yes and i have made that point before BUT have realised that realistically with Dealers sons Lamping the chit out of locality,Dealers cutting a 1/2" out of pelvis so sex cant be distinguished,one of the biggest dealers in country has a cheque door+ cash door,same dealers that take all Coilte/NPWS Animals...realism???Deer are considered vermin by most landowners who dont care how they get rid of them because they cost them money!!!,sure if you have a lease from Coilte etc then you may have a chance if you approach with a good management plan(Coilte dont want numbers either but do make $$$$ from trophy tourists) but the majority of deer shot in the country are shot on private land
Nobody wants to hear it but things will never change until Deer are worth something to those who feed and support them!!wheather it happens now or when numbers are so low in certain areas(and not necessarily from poachers) that those who want to continue stalking will have to fight for it and those with stalking will look after it..i have deer,partly because they have been squeez from adjoining property but mostly because i have not shot the chit out of them for some time now(and for those who think you should only shoot a couple and nobody should sell,i can take 50 a season with NO pressure on numbers,would you rather i dug a hole and burried them!!)..as for poaching for money- i know several serious poachers,1 is at it for as long as i am shooting and i doubt Rangers even know his name,never been in court and never draws attention,the rest,in/out of court regularly and seem mostly to do it for bravado and bragging in hometown/ local pubs!!! personally to date i've had more trouble with so called pro hunters who have no problem pointing guns into neighbouring land if they see a trophy..(give me a poacher any day over one of these hypocrites,least i know what to expect)

Edit...G Dealer regulation's exist and we dont need more of this crap,..those who are supposed to regulate and enforce just dont bother

The i see all this going is private lands(farms) where most guys have their deer certs from, will be lifted in the comings seasons!Deer numbers drop and the lands were deer were holding will no longer exist .No Deer HOLDING No certs on that land :eek:.Less guys with deer certs on private lands = more guys having to pay to shoot on coillte leased land .More revenue for the government ,aswell!Its happening right under our noises and the clock is ticking .

landkeeper

that's allready happening , i know of a couple of lads who have sold their stalking rifles cost the poaching problem has left where they shoot bare of deer and the npws have not reissued the deer licences
that and the fact that landowners are sick and tired of lamping, stock disturbance and such like by muppets who should have their licences revoked and guns confiscated
but i better be carefull what i write or i'll get more pms telling me im anti shooting and too negative :cool:
what we all need to remember is the landowners are who give us the opportunity to shoot once that has gone what happens then
make no mistake the dickheads will ruin it for everybody the way things are going
