markm Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have a .17, .22 & .243 and all it states for each is "the destruction of vermin.". Although it also states deer for the .243. I take that to be, I can shoot rats with my .243 if I want. I can also shoot foxes with a .17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 AFAIK Northumbria class fox as vermin,according to the FEO's that have visited me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosa Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Me too as markm but when i 1st got the .17hmr it was for long range rabbits & fox --no problem up here as are vermin!! I now use .243 though Edited February 26, 2011 by mosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I put in for long range rabbit's and short range fox. got my .17hmr no questions asked. This terminology fascinates me, just what ended up getting written on your FAC then, and what is the definition of LONG range Rabbit and SHORT range fox. Does that mean if a rabbit is only 20 yards away you cannot legally use your HMR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
