unapalomablanca Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I was driving around bedfordshire yesterday and saw a magnet in a field and pulled up to have a read and a sandwich and to see if he was having any sport. I dident hear any shots but when i looked over to where he was shooting i saw a couple of gulls come his way and two shots later i saw one of them hit the deck. Was he totally out of order or do you think it was an error? I wasnt worried but its not something that i would have had a potshot at.

TJ91 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) It depends wot 'gulls' they were and if they are a problem nearby. We used to shoot hundreds every year on one of my permissions but don't bother anymore as the numbers never lowered and everything got more expensive Can't see any way it could be an error...they look nothing like pigeons!

Davyo Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 do you not have to apply for licence to shoot gulls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
