Hi Guys,
Quick question, one of my permissions farmer called me i.e. canadian geese are grazing crops and he wants me to shoot some of them. Just wanted to confirm are we allowed to shoot them or do i need a special permit to shoot canadian geese? As normally the season runs 1st sept to 31st jan...

I'm probably wrong here but I thought you only had to use steel shot if there's water around. I'm sure someone be able to correct me if I'm wrong. Where I shoot on a golf course they seem to stick to near the ponds so always use steel shot. Gamebore 3" 36g no.1's do the job.

 

Any questions ring your feo. I did and got some sound advice. ATB 425

You are thinking of the Scottish law. In England and Wales non toxic shot must be used irrespective of the ground you shoot over.

as others, it has to be steel shot, as the bird may get wounded, fly back to pond/reserve where it may die... so lead ended up in water....

Do need to use steel shot if I'm not mistaken. Someone will verify I'm sure....

 

 

And they are Canada geese, not Canadian geese.

 

 

Yup corrected my self :D i usually say Canada, as a plural just said out canadian :D

It doesn't have to be steel, just one of the non toxic shot shells.
