Deer on veiw law when transported ?

[roedeerred]

Seeing dead deer on the public highway is distressing to the person with a bent car
but in the back of a pickup nosey b---ers.
You could drive anywhere round round the country in Scotland from now untill feb and find that happening some people


Maybe your work is so good they thought it was live!!!.Now that is an offence without a licance

Whether a case was ever call is irrelivent. What will happen is beeb will pick it up and every red top news sheet and then the whole process is brought into disrepute. look at the devon stag last year. There was nothing in it but look at the damage oit caused. Jim

if having a carcase in public is an offence then every butcher taking delivery of whole carcases would be prosecuted.
this country needs an enema!

when we start covering up and sneaking around so we don't offend people who should know better, they have won!!
We need to be more visible, not less.

the general public don't understand what we do, because we dont make a point of educating them!

I had a 12 point stags head on the back shelf of my estate car coming back from the West coast one year. full view. drove on to the ferry and had a couple of old ladies peering in the window.
I was expecting the worst when I got out but they were very sensible and asked lots of questions about what I was going to do with it, had I shot it, was the rest of it in the freezer etc.

No law, but probably one of common sense. A quiet country road for a short distance versus driving into middle of town. When I am off stalking / shooting try and keep as discreet as possible, as let's face it not everybody enjoys crawling through mud, whereas others think "x-factor etc" is acceptable entertainment.

Only two issues legally come to mind - is the load adequately secured and meat hygene. When I did my DSC1 Hugh Rose had a photo of an old pickup covered in sheep poo, straw, with buckets of sheep dip, creosote etc transporting lots of deer all piled on top of each other and ****ing with rain - would you want that on your dinner table?

I had to slow down on the A9 at Bruar with a young 'keeper with 4 headless and legless Hinds strapped to his quad. I never slept for weeks!!

What must be taken into consideration is that "disorderly conduct" can be complainer driven, that is, what the complainer perceives to be disorderly conduct because the effect has caused them alarmed/distressed. It could be argued that it should be known and accepted that displaying dead bambi could cause offence/alarm/distress and even although you had absolutely no intent to cause offence/alarm/distress you should have recognised the possibility and effort should have been made to covered it up.

Anybody recall the novelty hands that you could buy in any auto shop, the ones that you stuck on the outside of your car boot making it look as if somebody was inside the boot and either trying to escape or holding it shut. A joke - in most eyes but this was reported as disorderly conduct, I can't recall the outcome.

I use a covered trailer for my quad, there's enough room behind the quad for a carcass which saves getting blood in the back of the truck and it hides it from anti's... not that there's anything wrong or illegal but I don't want or need the hassle. We do get some funny looks at the petrol station when cammo'd up and covered in blood

In the good old days, and I am not talking that long ago every self respecting butchers shop would have its windows and hooks festooned with hanging carcasses, sheep pigs beef and game. What has happened to the world. Do the people sitting down to their roast leg of lamb for Sunday dinner believe that it grew out of the polystyrene tray they took it out of, you know the one, the one with the residue of red food dye on it

Sadly we have to say that yes the majority do not realise that meat actually comes from animals and do believe it comes from the get go in those plastic trays out of a factory where it's made like that. It's not new as it turns out a lot of city folks who were evacuated during WW2 didn't know milk came from cows to them it arrived on the doorstep in a bottle or came out of an urn on the back of a cart so that's where it came from.

Agree with Gazza on this, know a guy who had carcases in a trailer load was covered but a member of the public reported seeing blood dripping from the trailer, chap was charged but it did not go to court, Procurator Fiscal decided not to proceed with the case.

If true, I think this demonstrates everthing which is currently wrong with our Police. There are a lot of jobs-worths out there who simply can't wait to put pen to paper, other than deal with these very minor offences {if you can even call them that} in a common sense 'words of advice' way..... it beggars belief.....

This is the Norwegian way!

A successful hunt is a cause for celebration, not shame. So say my mates in Italy. Where did it all go wrong here? This photo was taken on a public road outside a bar. The bar is frequented by the local Carabinieri with no thought of doing anything about anything. Sad that we pussy foot about so much over here.

 

[unlacedgecko]

People smoking whilst pregnant, very fat children, and people with ridiculous breeds of dog (puggles anyone?) all cause me distress. Does this mean that the next time I see some dole scrouging scum with a baby bump and a fag dragging her obese brats along the high street I can call plod?

Arran scheme larder trips are usually covered if on the FC vehicles/trailers.

You'd better believe it!

The thlng that causes me real distress is the sight and sound from all the politicos in the media.
