Columbus Polumbus Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 They are listed on the general licence so go ahead but make sure your not in a town before you start knockin them over townies may be a little P****d at you plus it would not be safe.

ManandBoy Posted December 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Thanks chaps.While we were out yesterday a friend of ours was questioning why we were hunting "the poor little pigeons".I think she changed her mind when I asked if she felt the same about fishing(No) and pointed out that it was no different to going fishing.In fact she felt it was less cruel than pulling a fish out of the water with a hook in its mouth.So if u get any hassle ,ask them if they challenge fishermen as well and if not ,why not.

Adamo Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 N.I is coming down with them in certain places, I really wish they would get their fingers out of their colo rectal areas and get them on the pest list. :< :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
