ARRAN 22 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 i would have thought a .243 would do the job mate without the dogs. atb 1 Quote Link to post
irishnut 297 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 i asked the sacs, as in my opinion the cai give their own personal beliefs and not law. its legal to run deer and fox here Quote Link to post
