Debbie and all rescuers,
I was saddened to see this video; we have wildfowling here in the UK but not sure we have seen this type of behaviour.
Keep going folks
Sincerely/ Mike Collard/ UK
The incidents in the video were all reported to the police and DPI. No charges have been laid.A hunter is not obliged to keep 10 metres between himself and rescuers, only the other way around.The hunter in the first incident took a swipe at the rescuer’s camera which was on a cord around her neck. ===============================

Is it correct that the hunter isn’t allowed to approach within 10m? I thought that applied to protesters in relation to hunters, but what happens when the hunter approaches them? Are they legally obliged to move away, or does it not apply in that situation?
Naturally the hunter isn’t allowed to then start pushing them around like that. It’s a pity they didn’t have another camera on him to capture what happened once the camera was dropped.
