    Also, can anyone verify/refute my suspicion that that's a pellet gun of some sort in their picture?:

    Sorry about the link, :o thats the report alright, as i said in the title, more anti fodder!!

    and you are correct, a break action, spring air gun is not ideal for those long range shots at deer :D

    Athlone SPCA FB page, it’s a pricket, it’s in season, they may or may not have had permission to hunt there, the gralloch was left behind up a deserted grassy lane which suggests it was out of the public eye and would have been gone within 24 hours once foxes found it. Yet this anti vigilante has taken it upon himself to act as the law and stir trouble. At least he admits that badgers spread tb !!

    If its a pricket, and in season, why is this person being taken seriously?

    The only one who can clarify if anything illegal happened is the landowner. If there was permission in place to hunt this land for the particular person(s) who shot the deer nothing illegal happened. As for "dumping" gralloch, not in or near a watercourse or a public place and all is fine.
