Linky broken: 404 - Page Not found

Is this the same story?:
https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/illegal-hunting-condemned-following-deer-head-discovery/

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

Sorry about the link, 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

Whats the issue here? Is there no hunting allowed in that particular area?

Grizzly 45

First article in the rural life section.Yeah an airgun and a BS article stating the bloody obvious.

skipking

must be a very small deer if he was shot with that.

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 !!

This is the same clown who had photos up of a few pallets kids had made a hut out of claiming it was a hunters hide. Total gob****e.

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.
