squirrelhunter Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 If game wonder on to your own land, are you allowed to shoot them? I heard that you could, but i think this was from Roald Dahl's Danny Champion of the World....not exactly a legal text! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tody27 Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hi squirrel Hunter yes you can shoot game, as long as you are shooting them in the shooting season. You may also need a game license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I have wild phesants in my garden eating from the bird seed feeder, but I dont shoot them. The most together i have seen was 4 hens and a cock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 If you own the shooting rights on the land, or have permission from the person that does, are in possession of a Game Licence, its in the appropriate Game Season, its not a Sunday etc, etc. Then the answer is "Yes".

ernyha Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Cranfield said: its not a Sunday etc, etc.Then the answer is "Yes". I am not a game shooter so this question is merely one of interest to me. Is it illegal to shoot game all over the UK on a Sunday as i am sure that i once read that this was a bi-law that applied to some areas and not others. Anyone know the hard and fast answer to this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Ern, I know that flying game cannot be shot on sunday. However deer (even though being game) can be shot as they have a degree of verminousty about them (made that word up ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quercus Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Ern, copied from the BASC website; Quote England & Wales:No game (including snipe, woodcock and hare) may be shot in any county on any Sunday or on Christmas Day. No wildfowl may be shot in certain counties on Sunday. * Detailed list available in BASC members Wildfowl Permit Scheme Booklet Before the passing of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, orders prohibiting the shooting of Wildfowl on Sundays could be made under the provisions of the Sections 2 and 13 of the Protection of Birds Act 1954. The counties still effected by the imposition of this legislation are as follows: Anglesey, Brecknock, Caernarfon, Carmarthen, Cardigan, Denbigh, Devon, Doncaster, Glamorgan, Great Yarmouth County Borough, Isle of Ely, Leeds County Borough, Merioneth, Norfolk, Pembroke, Somerset, North and West Ridings of Yorkshire. Northern Ireland (Wildlife Order Northern Ireland): All wild birds are protected on Sunday or on Christmas Day. Scotland: There are no statutory restrictions on the killing of game on Sunday or on Christmas Day although it is not customary to do so. Wildfowl may not be shot on any Sunday or on Christmas Day. "verminousty", great word red stag Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Thanks Quercus, that seems to answer my question pretty clearly. PS That is a great word Red stag and as you invented it you have obviously spelled it correctly !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb5037 Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 yes that is a great word but shouldn't it be spelt verminosity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 B*gg*r off, it's my word, I invented it, and you are the first person to spell it wrong. No doubt I will do the same, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
