you're right Nitro, the seats are often marked in this fashion. There is no hunting on public or "Common" Land. It is invariably on private land, but footpaths and rights of way often cross the land and the public has rights of access. There has just been a great deal of private land opened up to the public as a result of pressure from such as the "Ramblers Association" which makes the problems worse. You will always find a bunnyhugger who will deliberately damage the seat if they get the chance and if the seat is damaged and does not meet the Health & Safety Standards, the owner is responsible if someone uses it and gets injured.

I would hate to test this in court, given the general attitude to guns and shooting in the UK, my feeling is that in a case where some lamebrain was messing about in a high seat and got injured as a result of being stupid and because they were trespassing, the court would very likely find against the owner.

If a trespasser in this country gets injured because the owner of the land has not met the Health & Safety regulations, the trespasser has the protection of the law. Illogical maybe, crazy even, but that's the way it is!!
