.22-250 For Deer North Of The Border

[Alsone 789]

 

Its our English Roe mate they are a different sub species 3 times bigger and stronger more BDS bullsh*te I am afraid.

 

Roe was included for .22 as the Deer Act Amendment headed towards its final reading, the bill was presented to the RSPCA at that stage, who concluded (despite Scottish evidence) they could not be sure .22 was humane for Roe, they never actually said it was not suitable, so, in a last minute PC change Roe was removed from the bill.

 

 

 

That would be about right.....

 

Makes you wonder why someone from said organisation didn't go out on a shoot prior to the Act being passed along with someone from the BASC, and actually watch roe being shot with .22-250..........issue would have been resolved quickly.

Aye it's crazy if you wanted to build a house you wouldn't phone a dentist would you they should have went out and seen the job getting done on several animals with different stalkers before making a decision like that. It's a great calibre ill never be without 1, at this time of year I leav towards the 270 but only because covers getting bad

That was pretty much my reaction at the time...what the **** does the RSPCA know about Deer Stalking?

That they would like it banned is perhaps about it

I have no doubt the BDS played its part as usual but .......

Edit

Unfortunately I was a victim of this, having been watching the progress of the Deer Act Amendment and having long considered the .240 (.243) more than required for Roe, Muntjac, CWD I jumped the gun (did you see what I did there) and ordered my .223 just before the Final reading, to be well ****** off when I saw the last minute change.

 

Lesson learnt.

 

 

Your talents are wasted mate.
