SGA campaign for female deer season succeeds.

[David Barker]

I'd have to say it's nonsense as I've been shooting OOS for 21 years and suffered no ill effects

There are always some brain dead people who don't have any feeling,s. I know chaps that have worked in the abattoir industry. Who have been fine then just top them selves. ( JUST SAYING)

 

[Mickeydredd]

So the last 30 years of hundreds of people applying and getting OOS and suffering no ill effects from carrying out OOS work stands for nothing?
There's not a hope in hell that they will allow OOS permission to be removed

I am not disagreeing with your assertion.

All I am raising is the folly of the SGA using that line to fight off the proposed change in season for Red hinds. It is irrelevant whether there is any truth in their assertion, it is now documented that such ill effects do, or would exist, so logically ScotGov cannot now deny its existence/impact.

Presumably Wild Justice won't raise the issue, despite their hatred of keepers and the SGA, but it wouldn't surprise if some Animal Rights mob had a go.

ps I shot a Roe doe yesterday that was pregnant with twins, no mental health ill-effects thus far......

The reason they top themselves is because of a mental disorder, not because they've seen a few dead animals

It's documented that it may affect the people the SGA represent... Just have to put forward us deer stalkers /cullers are a hardier breed and are not affected by this . I get what you're saying but I don't see it becoming a problem
