bell 3,503 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Met a fella today who paid £1500 for an airbow. The cops have taken it off him and reckon it’s a firearm.....don’t think legislation covers it at the moment......watch this space..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 23,683 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 This kid reckons they are legal. I prefer the Australian ones though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bell 3,503 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 My view is that they are legal at the moment....as the arrow/bolt doesn’t travel down the barrel this is key......have written evidence from basc that they don’t think its a firearm.... Good luck on your cat hunt mate, watched a few and some of those Toms are feckin huge......take it you will hunt and tree with dogs ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate,dogs and hopefully find a cat to tree or bay,not about killing the cat,its the cumulative experience,dogs singing etc.Some of those airbows are incredibly powerfull jim shockey shot a north American bison with one.

bell 3,503 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 For definite it’s got to be the whole experience and the ones I’ve seen look hard work to get to the point where a cat is treed. What you going to do with the carcas? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skin and skull back to the UK mate,i have been told cat meat is incredible,i have eaten household cat in the PI,it was edible but not cooked so good so I wouldn't have called it incredible but puma is supposed to be great 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bell 3,503 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Nice to have something physical to remember the occasion by.....funny isn’t it, I would imagine most people’s reaction to eating puma or bear would be no thanks....but they do say it’s really good eating....that’s going to be a trip of a lifetime .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 This a pic from last year this doesnt do it justice to how bad it is when the bears get the bait out of the barrels a other bait site was trashed it was like a T rex had gone thru there. i know he has a really nice big black bear with a V in white on his chest coming in. some yank was after it and got giddy and shot the wrong bear lol 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
