Thought you were one of the good guys and yet, you don’t appear to have written a poem about the tree?
They should make the sycamore-felling twosome go around the country restoring wetlands Two years of wetland-restoring labour and we check in with them for five minutes each week during @BBCCountryfile
@ShootingTimes Always, if we do not speak with them they only reinforce their belief that theirs is the only viewpoint. They may hate my viewpoint but now they know that it exists.
@lagopusscoticus If we shoot a wild surplus then we need bag returns and monitor popns. As a wildfowler, I already do that and would be happy to do it as a rough shooter. However, MA claims that raptor persecution stats remain unchanged despite not knowing any stats. Can you spot the problem?
@GethinJones123 Having just divulged a load of data to @pec_exeter over my bag returns over past 20 odd years I have no issue with data. I do have an issue with a perfidious approach which is quite obvious in its goal.
@lagopusscoticus Evident he knows little about wildlife but plenty on book selling , crying for all the NGOs to attack Defra it was WJ that has had the largest impact on breeding birds in uk in the last 30 years by contesting GL . State of nature is a lot to do with three people’s ignorance!

@land_guardian @ShootingTimes @MarkAvery I feel that way about the Shooting Times since the editor blocked me on here. I didn't even disagree with him on anything.
@ShootingTimes It depends on the motives of those you're talking too.
@GethinJones123 I listened to this and thought it was excellent 👍
@ShootingTimes @Banjodog4 @MarkAvery Bit harsh. On a serious note, I hope you can lead the conversation in a sensible way. The commercial end needs to get its act together and as I suspect this is the bulk of your revenue, you need to bring them into line. I think the supertanker is turning on the right direction…
@Banjodog4 @ShootingTimes @MarkAvery The enemy is within Banjo. When will you acknowledge that?
@Banjodog4 @ShootingTimes @MarkAvery Lead shot, mass releases above COGSP (our own) guidelines, BOP persecution, pheasants dumped routinely- The enemy within. but wasted focus is on the personalities, (your personal obsession with CP is cringeworthy) There’s much not to agree with CP about, but not all. See above
@ShootingTimes @MarkAvery If I could only do one type of shooting for the rest of my life it would be walking up wild birds with a dog at my heels. Heaven! (Edit: I'd still be allowed to flight duck in this scenario)
