NARGC

Hi.

I was just wondering if it would be okay to have a thread for all things NARGC related.

There have been some changes this year and I think it would be good to share news and views. I was told that there is a change of venue for the National Clay Shoot this year. It is being held in Ardee on the 9th and 10th of July.

Also there is an EGM coming up some time in June to elect 2 officers after the Vice Chairman passed away and the Hon Treasurer resigned.

That will make the next meeting interesting..

Wrong attribution in that quote CS, I said that, not p28559 and I was referring to the internal NARGC row rather than an external third party.

Apologies for the misquote. But that aside as said there will always be difficulties

Indeed, but I've always found that difficulties are reduced if everyone involved knows what's possible and what's involved in a task.

External/internal rows aside I have to say I am enjoying this thread lately.

I like the positive contributions and the fact that everyone has a wishlist. It reminds me of Christmas!

They may not all be possible or even probable but we have to at least aspire to greater things.

After AGM I spoke to a lot of delegates..to a certain extent the war is over, lets get on with it. a good idea is a good idea no matter where it comes from. We need to get more young people involved in the sport. I also like the discount scheme idea..

No reason a deer tag should cost more than 34 cent. That's what Mullinahone Co-Op charge for a Lamb Slaughter tag.

One sure thing, DO NOT allow the Dept. Ag. be involved at any level or stage.

Wish list. To have at least one Garda in a station with even a basic knowledge of firearms and the laws currently in place. And a Super who appllies the law as it stands, not as he thinks it should stand.

Listened in amazement as the local gun/sports shop owner tried to explain to a Garda over the phone why .17 was not the same as .22. He didn't make much progress.....

I dare say that in prior years that may have been a valid point. Of the current exec I would know that at least 13 of the 15 are shooters out and out..the other two I am unsure of as I haven't asked about them yet:D.

Guys sorry for going off track here, but hoping someone might know the answer to this one for me, NARGC insurance, does it cover you for shooting in Northern Ireland or is it just the Rep ?

NARGC comp fund covers members for shooting anywhere in the EU.
At a recent AGM it was passed to cover members for shooting worldwide. I think that starts from 1st August next.

I had forgotten about that.. now that Brexit is here and and UK won't be in the EU that makes sense. I go across to Scotland goose shooting every couple of years so that is handy..

Yes but in this case..fair play: they reacted to a situation and should be praised for that.

The Government didn't have much of a plan for Brexit in fairness...

We give the NARGC grief for the cock ups so lets praise this one...or can your moaning genes not allow that?:D

I've hard that & it's fair enough in my opinion, once people are told about it & it's not used as a get out clause if a claim is put in.

That's true...a dog license is a legal requirement as is a micro chip and it regestered to you......
it's a farce really a good friend of mine when he purchased a dog licence in a post office in a small village in waterford was congratulated by the post master for having the only dog in the village. I've been visted three times in 5 years from the dog warden when I forgot to pay the license. Yet the ****er wouldn't walk 200 yards up the road to a fella with a shed full of unlicensed dogs.

So some of the Exec are doing a meet and greet in Cork tonight? I think it is Ballincollig ?

That should be interesting.. It would be nice to get feed back about how it went.

Checkout the other posts about County board affiliation...there was a couple of lads from Cork on it so they might be able to give feedback, i'm back in Kilworth back end of next week so will ask a lad I know what the crack is. Is it true they also have an invite from some clubs in Laois, heard that from a Lad in Athlone.

berettaman

Executive meeting with Cork went very well seemingly. Feedback is very positive.

Gameshot is now out. Members seem very happy with it. Very determined to actually complete the bag return and send it off this year!!;)

cavan shooter

Lads how much is the pheasant subsidy for clubs this year..? The reason I ask is I hear IFA are subbing pheasants to IFA registered clubs.

Until I hear a confirmed case in the wild bird population then its hear say..I already heard it said at the weekend that the decline in pheasant numbers is now probably caused by Bird flue:

to quote: "That bird flu has the pheasants wiped"

The Mink, the Pine Martin, The Buzzard, The fox, magpie and Grey Crow and the lazy PLUCKER who does no vermin control are all off the hook

One of the local tools tells me we will soon have to apply for a licence to lamp foxes at night as an aid to counter deer poaching. Did anyone else hear anything about this?

With the Super in my district, you would have two chances ......

Avian Influenza (Precautionary Confinement of Birds) Regulations 2016,

Below whats relates to shooting in Q and A bit

Q1. Am I still able to go shooting?

• There are currently no restrictions in place for shoots, but this situation may change and you should monitor the Department’s website regularly for the most up to date information on avian influenza controls before going shooting.

• While out shooting if you observe any dead wild birds, in particular 3 or more of same species and 5 or more of multiple species other than common garden birds or pigeons, please report this to DAFM as soon as possible. The contact details for Department offices are available at: Department Local Offices or to the Department’s Avian Influenza helpline: Tel: 076 1064403). Information on high risk species of wild birds is available at: High Risk Wild Bird Species

Q2. How does compulsory housing affect game birds?

• Game birds that have already been released are classified as wild birds. Those people that release game birds are no longer classed as the ‘keeper’ of the birds once they have been released.

• Where the released game birds continue to be fed and watered this can continue though other wild birds should have had no contact with the feed and water. Commercial feed and fresh or treated water should only be used.

• If they remain in pens, contact with wild birds should be restricted, for example, through netting, roofing, etc., and the other above mentioned measures should be followed to keep wild and captive birds apart.
