legal?

The season advice is very important headshot.

 

Your legitimate air rifle target vermin are;

 

Rat, Rabbit, Grey Squirrel, Woodpidgeon, Ferral Pidgeon, Crow, Rook, Magpie, Jay, Jackdaw. Mink.

 

That's all. Nothing more. And even some these have a certain level of legality to be aware of as to when and where you may or may not shoot them. Such as only when they are on land you have permission to shoot over and they are feeding on crops, thus are deemed to be pests.

 

Waterfowl like Duck, Heron, or gamebirds bred for (paid-for) shooting like pheasants, grouse and partridge and such, are not only ethically wrong to shoot with an air rifle, I believe it is actually illegal.

 

Be seen as a responsible air rifle hunter and a credit to the sport. Not an airgun yob, who shoots anything in ignorance when he gets caught and contributes to the negative image there is abroad at the moment.

 

 

this place is a joke sometimes , talk about calling the kettle black

 

 

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 .

 

 

yep it was wrong and very illegal , armed trespass that mate , not something i would be bragging about on a forum.

 

or maybe it was just a fairytale .. yep thats it a fairytale

Not armed tresspass when you have permission old son. As for a fairytale..well, you'll never know for sure will you..."Chimp"
