Mistafarge 0 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi There, My name is Farge and I am literally as entry level as they come. I have been feeling a calling to start and hunt my own food for some time now as I have struggled with the factory farming methods used in this country and really want to feel a connection with what I eat and contribute less to the factory farming industry. I intend to start small (Obviously) with rabbit and pheasant (as there seems to be an abundance by me) and would love to move into larger game in the future. I also want to fish for edible fish such as river trout too. Back about 20 years ago I got into trouble with the law and got sent to young offenders prison for fighting and they said i could never get a firearm licence but i have read that this can be reviewed.... is there any hope for me? I believe that starting a family and since going on to better myself by working as a professional manager, gaining a degree and Royal Chartership in building shows that my character has changed from the stupid mistakes that 18 year olds without guidance make. I think that I could possibly overturn this but just want to see if I am wasting my time or not. Can anyone point me to the very basics on how to get started... I am going to visit the BASC website now for more info too. Thanks all, I look forward to starting this exciting journey Farge Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 If your sentence was less than 3 years you are prohibited from owning a firearm (including airguns) for 5 years from your release. If the sentence was over 3 years you are prohibited for life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Majority of UK beef is outdoors spring - sometime in autumn (some are out all year but equally some never go out). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
