Poachers on our patch debate
Last edited:
Hi Guys, My local paper "The Galloway News" Has in today’s edition a court report on a man from Newcastle named Brian Weddell of Ninth Row, aged 51 who has plead guilty of recklessly firing a rifle near Dalry, he plead guilty by letter after he appeared on 12 June this year.
He discharged the rifle near Corriedoo from the A702 road from Dalry to Edinburgh, shooting and killing a roe deer, when there was a man stalking nearby he also admitted shooting the deer without permission and failing to comply with the terms of his firearms licence.
He also admitted driving without "L" plates and without supervision or insurance.
Sentencing was deferred to October 28 for Wendell to make a personal appearance.
I was wondering if this is the case that was debated in June?

:,it just bugs me that muggers and thiefs etc get of wiyh so much in comparisons,and they get compensation and can sue u from prison,i have just checked he is 51 is that right ?he he
Don't really care what he is other than he has admitted his guilt and he is now a convicted criminal. Considering the bad press shooting gets we don't need someone like this retaining any form of FAC. What sort of impression would that give to all those who are anti guns or shooting and I bet they would use it against us. Can you imagine the headlines, "Man convicted of poaching, recless discharge and driving without a licence or insurance keeps licence". I can just imagine LACS saying we are all the same and trying to make us public enemy N01. Hopefully He'll loose the lot.Hey lads its hard to take was he a poacher or a pot filler thats what needs to be sorted there is a big differnce and for me if he was a pot filler he should get off with it and be given his equipment back
