T-Bolt94 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 To the very best of my knowledge it is illegal to shoot at night with the exception of rabbits and foxes. BASC has a section on this http://www.basc.org.uk/en/departments/game-and-gamekeeping/game-shooting/shooting-seasons.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huffhuff Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 No using 'artificial light' to 'lamp' wild birds. Tut tut. They also have a season in England: Oct 1 - Jan 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huffhuff Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 No probs. That's what we're here for http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1954/30/contents/enacted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bolt94 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Having double checked, I can see that its illegal to shoot any wild bird in NI (where I am from) it appears England and Wales may have slightly different laws on this.
