Whats with the protected animal charge .The fox has never enjoyed this status .
You are right about the permission bit though mate. I had some foxing and stalking on a patch of land ive done for years . Turned up recently with the rifle, parked where I always do and walked down the fields . Shot a buck and was walking back to the truck when i met a couple walking a dog and said good evening .Another field away from them I had a phone call ,an unknown number which I normally ignore .I answered it to be told it was the police, could I return to the truck . I thought I was just blocking a gatew
