hi guys ,
i know its a bow hunting site but i was a bit excited to have fire arms removed from a chap we run in to while hunting last january .
i was hunting with my bow at the time so i guess this qualifys this post to be bow hunting related;)
i copyed and pasted from our site so hope you find it interesting reading :D
.................................................. .................................................. ...
on Friday the 11 th of January 2008 Deanno and i went hunting in the Tatong /Tolmie area of north east Victoria
for sambar deer.
we were hunting STATE forest ,Max Reese was also hunting the same area ,
to cut a long story short we were assaulted by Darren Sheppard of Tolmie - Tatong road, Tatong,
Darren apparently believed that we were hunting in 'HIS SPOT' and hunting his 'DEER' and he and tried to use violence to suggest that we hunt in another location .
statements were given to police and Darren went to face the Benalla Magistrate's court on Tuesday the 22 of April 2008
he pleaded guilty to assault ,recklessly causing injury,criminal damage, and several firearms offenses.
Darren has had his fire arms license revoked and now much to every one involved's delight become a prohibited person,never to be allowed to carry or posses a fire arm again (with out a lot of trouble on his behalf)
Darren lost a total of 9 firearms ,being a mixture of 4 deer rifles,shot guns and .22 long rifles.
These were forfeited to the crown and will be sold to recoup court costs.
Along with loosing his firearms Darren was fined a total of $1000 to be paid to the RSPCA, must pay restitution to fix a damaged car of a little over $400,write 3 letters of apology to the 3 person's targeted in the two attacks
and has been placed on a twelve month bond for good behavior .
I guess he thought he would frighten off people from his "SPOT' but he picked on the wrong people, to attempt to intimidate remember if you are hunting in the Tatong-Tolmie area never be intimidated by this chap ,
DARREN SHEPPARD

.................................................. ..............................................
in short he didnt have a good day in court ,we esstimate for his attempted intimidation and vilolence against us he is out of pocket about 12-15 thousand dollars :cool:
he was aparently crying in the dock when the magistrate was givving him a dressing down :D,even more so when he took his guns away and cancelled his fire arms licence
thanks for reading
