    Yet Another Shooting

    Very true John, If the big boss says "Don't do it !" It wont happen. As you imply loss of job, home, prospects etc is a far bigger deterrent than anything the courts may choose to hand down. Do you require a licence to run grouse shoots ? Perhaps if that were in jeopardy it might focus a few...

Someone somewhere must have seen something. I don't...
