masmiffy 82 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Oh dear boy there is also a season I thought so too. When does it start? I can't see any reason not to drop them with an air rifle. Phantom Shooting seasons This table lists the shooting seasons of the main game species in England, Scotland and Wales. The dates listed are when you can shoot the quarry. The close season, the period you can't shoot them, generally coincides with the breeding seasons, as it is in everyone's interests to maintain a healthy and sustainable population of all the species listed. In addition to the species listed here, some mammals are classified as 'pests' and may be shot all year round. These include rats, rabbits, mink, etc. The hare has no close season, but hares cannot be sold during their breeding season, between 1 March and 31 July. Some non-game birds are covered by 'general licences' issued by the government, which allow them to be controlled all year round. These include pigeons, crows and magpies. It is important to understand that the general licences only allow these birds to be shot for specific reasons - and those reasons do not include shooting them for sport or for food. So remember: if you're shooting pigeons and someone asks you why, the answer is 'to prevent serious damage to farm crops'. And if you're shooting or trapping corvids, the licence covers 'preventing serious damage to livestock'.
