Luckyshot Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Must be a County thing but mine won't allow wildfowl to be shot with ANY rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) At least its going to good use,(incase anyone moans) And the rifle was for humane dispatch because it was crippled ATB!

Bleeh Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah, so on what point of your license does it say that you can shoot Wildfowl?. Don't post stupid things online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAVAGE HMR Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yeah, so on what point of your license does it say that you can shoot Wildfowl?. Don't post stupid things online. I think if you have pest control or ground game on ticket for a perticular caliber this would technically fall in to this category. My ticket states for .223, fox, pest and ground game. If this goose was deemed by the shooter to be a pest would it not fall in to the category on the ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody801 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I imagine you shot the goose with lead? All waterfowl regardless of where it's at must be shot using a non toxic shot in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the wildlife and countryside act make geese vermin under certain conditions? I'll need to give it a read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tel Time Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The antis don't need to do anything, we will do it all for them. Good shooting and enjoy (or your mate) the fruits of your labour, at least you wont be spitting pellets or visiting the dentist when you chomp a steel.
