Man fined for drowning squirrel

[Sam Thompson]

I am indeed samsaw... Time spent stalking and culling in Uk, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Germany and Italy. You a shooting man?

 

 

Ah nice. I do a fair bit of stalking here, but I havent been abroad yet. Mainly stalk roe and reds, with the odd Sika when I can. We have a nice patch up in Aberdeenshire which is rather nicely crawling with Roe, and should be up there for a few days next week

 

 

Its nice to meet a fellow stalker though

I have to say after reading about this it's PC gone mad!! As already mentioned rat poison is IMO a very inhumane way to dispatch an animal as it suffers massive internal bleeding hence lots of pain over a long period of time whereas drowning is fairly quick. Wouldn't say painless but i'm sure less suffering but i feel the main lesson in all of this is that should you have to dispatch any vermin at all do it out of the way of the nosey neighbours and people that don't understand the reasons why!!

Whats good for a squirrel is good for a dog eh1?

Nice one always nice to meet like minded people, i go up to to Dumfries and Perth way for my shooting. Get yourself to Finland for the Moose and the whitetail and Begium,Germany for the boar. I did my european large game ticket in Finland and it was a top course.

 

As for this guy drowning the squirrel, if he is daft enough to let people know what he is doing or to let people see what he is doing, he deserves the fine. Im still not a fan of squirrel water torture though... There are more efficient ways to kill things.

That would be Hemingway. As quoted in the latest predator film by a dubious Adrian Brody.
