Scully Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 The legality of shooting wildfowl on a sunday is dependant on which county you live in.BASC have a list of all those counties in which it is illegal to shoot 'fowl on a sunday,if yours isn't on it then you should be ok. Seasonal dates 'are also subject to the exclusion of christmas day and sundays in scotland,and certain prescribed areas of England and Wales on sundays'.

blade Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 looked on the site i take it this is what you mean Game for the purposes of this section means pheasant, partridge, red grouse, black grouse and hare. No game may be killed or taken in any county on Sunday or Christmas Day. Before the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 orders prohibiting the shooting of wildfowl on Sundays were made under sections 2 and 13 of the Protection of Birds Act 1954. Those still in existence are in the following counties (or parts of counties in existence before the 1974 local authority re-organisation): Anglesey, Brecknock, Caernarvon, Carmarthen, Cardigan, Cornwall, Denbigh, Devon, Doncaster, Glamorgan, Great Yarmouth County Borough, Isle of Ely, Leeds County Borough, Merioneth, Norfolk, Pembroke, Somerset, North and West Ridings of Yorkshire. live in lincolnshire so looks like im ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
