Deker 3,491 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Guys ..what are you all on about... ......changes in the Deer Act last year made it legal to despatch an injured deer with "ANYTHING" suitable...in addition AAA in the 12g shotgun is a legal deer calibre/shot anyway! And there is no law says you have to be within 10 yards! And you do not need humane despatch or a deer condition on your SGC or FAC!!! Go end it's suffering ...ASAP! Quote Link to post
Deker 3,491 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Unless humane dispatch is on fac, it can only be done with a shotgun. (Told that yesterday by firearms trainer) Incorrect, he does not know the last years Deer Act Amendment! Quote Link to post
lgray88 4 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 so does that mean that people out deer stalking with no deer condition on there cert could get away with telling the plod that they saw a injured deer that needed dispatched Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Legalities aside, I'd have shot the animal. That's taking your word on the situation, not using it as an excuse to do stuff you're not supposed to be doing. (Not saying you were/are, just mentioning it). Quote Link to post

Loss of you FAC/SGC, fine, and or prison term (firearms offence) ..is it really worth it....just do a DSC1 and get the firearm/condition Quote Link to post
lgray88 4 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 not much chance of me gettin deer as a condition up here in shetland unless any of you want to let me shoot down your way Quote Link to post
