anser2 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Its not true that shooting is banned on Easter Sunday , but its more a bit of common sence and thinking of others. I was out this morning , but the only field worth decoying was within a few hunderd yards of two cottages. I watched pigeons pouring onto the rape , but I doubt if the people living close by would like their day ruined by me shooting so the birds have been put on the back burner until next week when everyone is back at work. Hovewver had I found a suitable field the pigeons were working well away from any houses then there is nodoubt I would be shooting at the moment instead of pounding the key board of this PC.

Thunderbird Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Would anyone shoot on Remembrance Sunday? Well if it was a question of game in England and Wales then it would be against the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
