fieldsportsman 107 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 i think it may be legal, but as you can imagen its alot more rewarding when you have hit something then with a gun. I know in America they use them for big game, so defonitely capable of killing a rabbit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Any bow hunting is illegal in the UK I wonder if that applies to the royal family who've hunted deer with bows for centuries Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Got me! Actually, I normally see them across the field from a pigeon hide or when I'm out stalking with my rifle. It's a good distraction when things are quiet You're right though. I do have a sadistic streak. Wife says I'm good and bad in equal measure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
