chrispti Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Iv seen some beautiful in land lakes around North Hants, absolutely infested with these birds!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsy Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 They do a massive ammount of damage, theres a load of them about. The sooner they go on the GL the better. The Angling Trust are working hard on getting this sorted so it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedd-wyn Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I was asked to shoot one of these not long ago, I declined of course. They seem to be creating havoc at my friend's fishery in Anglesey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samboy Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Im on license to shoot them on a lake near me. Sometimes easier said than done. They are very alert rascals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fal Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 If this happens it will be great, the damage they cause is beyond belief, I regularly see 20-30 roosting on an area I fish, I see them sometimes systematically working their way through pools. They are everywhere, the sooner the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon pete Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Bloody Sea Gulls im waiting for! you can shoot seagull under heath and safety,there poo you can slip on or on goods ,nesting on roofs or in gutters ,this can cause water leaks and then you can slip or if water comes in contact with electricity thus causing electroshock/death ,and dive bombing, and i was told this by the BASC ,and if you look at the GL it tells you what gulls you can cull with a rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootnfish Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Is the reason that there are so many inland nowadays because the fish stocks at sea are lower because of over fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
