apache Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 How did you get a grant for the .223 if you have nowhere to shoot it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 As the OP posted he just needs the permision for expanding ammo i assume the .223 is granted for target. Seriously don't go paying a fee to go foxing find someone local who can take you for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously don't go paying a fee to go foxing find someone local who can take you for nothing he isn't asking to be taken as such, he's asking for ground to put on his ticket so he can get expanding ammo which is an entirely different ball game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 This kind of thing always worries me, you've got no immediate reason to kill foxes, you're not a keeper, farmer, or small holder with livestock otherwise you'd have been granted first time. Now i'm not keen on fox hunting for this very reason, seems like you just want to kill them just for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i'm not keen on fox hunting for this very reason, seems like you just want to kill them just for the sake of it. your right im none of those BUT i enjoy fox shooting on the hole you can go and shoot 50 rabbits in a night no problem but to to shoot 1-2 foxs a night or even a week is something diffrent because a fox is a very clever and smart animal and and presents a great challenge so if i can help a farmer,keeper,etc control fox numbers then ill be happy and will save pheasent polts,livestock,wildfowl most importently :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) This kind of thing always worries me, you've got no immediate reason to kill foxes, you're not a keeper, farmer, or small holder with livestock otherwise you'd have been granted first time. Now i'm not keen on fox hunting for this very reason, seems like you just want to kill them just for the sake of it. I think most of us shoot because we want to. I can see the OP seems a bit badly worded or laid out, bits missing etc - rather like some of my dyslexic ramblings. I wondered why he needs expanding ammo when his farmer wont have the C/F there - so won't have anywhere to shoot vermin/fox with it but I'm thinking the post was just a bit 'briefer' than it could have been. You do have somewhere to use a C/F with a sound mod presumably rimmie? As the FEO will want to see your good reason for acquiring them and I think I heard somewhere that sound mods are not being granted for ranges any more - but I don't do targets and could be wrong about that.
