The Judge's adverse credibility and reliability findings were justified by inconsistent statements, photographic and police evidence showing a dog box with visibility, and witness observations; once hunting and dogs on the vehicle were established the statutory presumption applied and the appellant failed to discharge the onus to prove he was not hunting, therefore convictions for trespass and hunting were upheld.
