salclalin 240 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 No such thing as Common Land.All land belongs to someone 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Unfortunately salclalin is right it all belongs to somebody. I used ferret and shoot with air guns on a lot of common land near me but I wouldn't risk it with the shottie (not very discreet lol) in fact I wouldn't risk it all these days.
