Some hypothetical situations

JD Green

I was wondering what the legal rammifications would be in the following hypthetical situations. Assume that the man has permission to be on all the ground in the scenarios below

Situation 1: A man is out lamping with his dog on a night with poor visibility, he spots a pair of eyes and thinking it's a fox he calls it in. Once the eyes are within range he slips the dog. The dog catches its target and kills it but it turns out to be a badger. As the dog is coming back he gives the rest of the field a scan and he spots a deer, the dog catches and kills it.

Situation 2: A man in out digging foxes and his lurcher marks a hole, thinking it's a fox hole he lets the terrier enter but it turns out to be badger den.

Situation 3: A man is out walking his dogs and they run off ahead of him and catch a hare out of season.

Thanks

just like shooting you shouldn't slip the dog at a target that you can't clearly identify. Learn what eyes look like because they look nothing alike

Learn what a badger and fox den look like because the entrances are different.

It is a mans responsibility to have the dog under control.

All of the above are shitty excuses for someone to try and get away with hunting illegally with dogs.

To answer what you asked.
1) if seen you could be done for illegally killing a badger & deer with an out of control dog. I'd pressume this could involve destroying the dog, revoking of licenses & fines.
Id imagine unless it was a guard that saw you in this country without concrete evidence it would be thrown out. (all opinion not fact)

2) as per above

3) can't see much happening. Could happen any pet dog. Would really want someone with a vendetta to push it!

You say when calling a fox, a badger comes to the call? Would a badger come to a fox call??

And the 3rd situation, I can't imagine you could do much there. Any dog could tear after a hare to be fair. If he catches a hare he's entitled to a nice treat!!

I was calling one night, a badger came toward me across fields. As it turned out, it's sett was near the bottom of the ridge I was calling from.

Otherwise, it hasn't happened to me.

Put the deer in the vehicle, leave, keep your mouth shut and read up on the above...
