Poachers held in Staffordshire

I cant believe they managed to get three deer with a modified air rifle :eek:

I wonder what went flying out the window before they were stopped..

Poaching seems to be getting an undeniable amount of press coverage of late..

Continues to be a big topic on local radio and news on the South Coast..
 
poaching

by the look of the article and the time they were stopped i would say they were using .22 rounds and a lamp and battery very simple to get .22 air riles converted to fire bullets

Guys there is a good chance your theories are correct...

However having had FAC air rifles they can still do a lot of damage and mine was regulated to 26 ft/lbs wouldn't take much to get up and above that i imagine...

Foxes didn't used to make it too far with it...

Either way they should get it in the neck for something it's a start...

if not mistaken they were using a .22 rimfire but will wait to hear what the papers report to confirm if my sources info as correct or not
 
Now they've been caught lets just hope they get some decent punishments handed out to them too. It's all well and good catching them but there's little point if they just get their wrists slapped and are then sent on their way again.
 
i have a contact or two in staff's
i'll see if i can find out what they know of this

they get a lot of problems on the chase
as it is so open to the public
