Phantom 631 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 It's "frowned upon" by the boys with the 12 guages, but yes when they are in season and you have permission, then a headshot will despatch them cleany Quote Link to post

rossi_j 99 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Make sure its o.k first, as land owners dont like to get on the wrong side of the local shoot, most will actually tell you not too. Dont wory about the 12g boys they get jelous because some pay £20-£30 + vat per bird :laugh: One for the pot dosent seem to bother anyone, just get it in your poachers pocket quick :laugh: .atb. .ste.

pianoman 3,586 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Makes things a little clearer for me. I was always lead to believe it was illegal to hunt them with an air rifle. Never bothered to check that out really. I've shot scores of them for the pot, only because in the past, a certain gamekeeper on my permission would happily run his dogs on my shooting ground, after seeing my car parked up and deliberately screw up any hope of a decent dusk rabbit hunt. So I mercillessly hunted down and zapped his pheasants and partridges. I once culled his entire stock by sniping at the feeding bins and shooting everything of every bird I saw. Sure it was wrong. But he got the message good and proper, and now we get along just fine, out of eachothers way . 2 Quote Link to post
