chris64 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Hi workmate asked me to shoot afox thats living in his garden, sounds like it's a cub been there a couple of weeks he said it smell's so bad his cats won't go outside now, i've told him can't shoot it in his garden only got 12g and airrifle's, so i made him this nocked up in about 1hr out of bits in shed and old dog run new that mesh would come in handy one day, problem is land i shoot on has said i can take it there and shoot it BUT is it legal to transport it to shoot it.

apache Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Looks good People transport them to release them. Can't see why you can't transport and shoot it? Silenced shotty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 ...... BUT is it legal to transport it to shoot it. Basc code of practice....... Cage-traps (Live catchers)Cage-traps come in various sizes, depending on the target species. All are basically a box constructed of wire mesh with one or two open ends. The doors are triggered by a foot plate or hook from which a bait may be suspended. * Cage traps can be used to take any animal which is not protected e.g.fox. * Cage traps should be inspected at least once every day and target animals despatched quickly and humanely and the body disposed of responsibly e.g. by incineration or burial. I would suggest that it is legal but I would shoot it at point of capture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
