Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Shoot sunday no law against that but shooting in the dark for rabbits etc you need to tell police who will get give you UCR number plus the day date.

foghorn Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 You can not shot game on a Sunday, so don't be tempted by a passing pheasant, then you will have some trouble if anyone sees you. You cant shot game after dark either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadkill Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 just try to keep the neighbours happy , we had a problem on our shoot where they would ring teh police everytime we had a shoot on , at the beginning of last year the police threatened the shoot owner that if they carried on getting calls from these houses then the shoot would end up with an asbo and that would be the end of the shoot its only been going for over a 100 years lol and the 1 million pound houses have been there all of 10 years ( townies ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spara Dritto Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) From what i've read, Its against the law to shoot game on sundays (only applys for game season obviously) but "Crop protection" of pigeons but in our eyes "sport" can be shot when ever! maybe he was slightly confused. just my 2p's worth!

jonesbach Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 had one of my permissions leave a similar sign on my car one Sunday...was doing them a favour..then i get "no shooting on sundays" on my windscreen when i get back! think its down to the individual...

mtelfo Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've been out at half six most Sunday mornings recently. Just go on the fields near the houses! As said before just apply common sense! I had some one tresspassing to come and have a go at me a fortnight ago he scared my five year old so I told him if he didn't **** off I would call the police! There are some ****** about!

paddywack12 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 The land owner on my main permission does not allow any shooting on Sundays which can be a pain especially if I am out feeding and there are pigeons everywhere but its something I just have to accept. And he does not like to see any traps set on a Sunday either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
