Be grateful, it is excellent wording, and all encompassing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on reply and as said above be gratefull you have that wording on your fac as my region (Durham) and many others point blank refuse to follow ACPO and grant this condition.

Yet Deer is lawful quarry to be shot with a 243 and substantially "larger" then fox Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND ANY OTHER LAWFUL QUARRY ...that means exactly what it says, and has been confirmed by my Firearms Region, there is nothing to interpret! Any means ANY, it does not mean lessor! If they wanted it to mean lessor then it would read ....AND ANY LESSOR LAWFUL QUARRY! Edited July 24, 2011 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just quoting someone elses intrepretation my friend the way i see it is just the same as you, "all other legal quarry" means quarry that can be legally shot with the calibres i have, which in my case means everything but alas Northants refuse to use this wording and each individual species has to be listed.
