Three men have been convicted of night poaching after a police helicopter tracked their 4x4 through West Country countryside in the middle of the night.
One of the offenders was also found guilty of affray.
The men were arrested in Tarrant Monkton in Dorset on Wednesday, January 6, 2016.
They were caught with more than 100 pheasants – either dead or maimed – in the back of their Mitsubishi 4x4, a court heard.
