-Mongrel- Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Which is what I said! Its stated in the general license!! Ah right, thought you were saying that because the WCA states no semi autos that was it regardless of the GL! Now I see that I misunderstood.

Underdog Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Britain....the land of pigeon holers, stereotypists and tar and featherers (is that a word!) Not everyone that uses an airgun on things other than rabbit, crows n' pigeons is a poacher Not everyone that shoots a gamebird with an auto matic gun is a close relative of dog dirt It is so sad that in a so called society that claims to be free and is in fact liberated in many many ways some of which are disgusting to me personally that an overwhelming communistic approach is almost universally taken when it comes to unorthodox hunting practices. To what purpose do some critise so much? Are they so frightened by what others think? May I suggest some here take up knitting and stay in.....you will be alot happier I am sure.

fenboy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 You seem to have a problem with this sinking in , so I will point it out for you again , as I have once already and someone else also . You may shoot wildfowl and game with a semi automatic shotgun as long as the magazine will hold no more than two cartridges , you may not shoot wildfowl and game with a semi automatic shotgun which is held on FAC due to having a magazine capacity of more than two, are you getting it now ?

Fenboy, many thanks for your patronising response, I know, IT IS WRITTEN IN THE GENERAL LICENSE I keep referring to!!! It was stated about 3 pages ago by myself. It seems its only you that cannot see this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Fenboy, what he's saying is that the WCA states that you cannot use a semi automatic gun on any bird, it doesn't mention capacity at all. However, on the General Licence it then clarifies that you can actually use a 2+1 but nothing FAC.

Old farrier Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Does that include rifles used to sort out wounded game on shoots ie hoppy pheasant on feed ride or duck on pond that can no longer fly Just curious as its in the humane aspect ? All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Of I guess it would be illegal unless you had humane dispatch as a condition for the particular gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, on the General Licence it then clarifies that you can actually use a 2+1 but nothing FAC. i think what fenboy is saying is if you read post 20 fatherandson said it was illegal to use a semi auto with no mention of it being fac witch he added in in a later post so reading post 20 he was wrong as you can use a semi, as with the comment about the Xmas day pheasant, on these forums you need to be carefull what you wright as it can be taken at face value Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstenson123 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Not sure air rifle but it is illegal with cross bow, automatic and semi auto weapons, as well as with any illuminating device (lamp or torch) including night vision!

FatherandSon Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 ITHINK you BOTH ought to get ya sen OFF TO BED !!!!!!! FATHER & SON!!Why? That is quoted in the WCA!! Ill assume you didnt know that! Again, the only reson you can shoot wuth a 2+1 is the General License allows us to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi just curios Is it mag capacity Or semi auto Or fac That makes it illegal All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherandSon Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Mag capacity. No more that a 2+1 (anything more would be classed as FAC anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Hi Not if its a air rifle with a magazine This is what made me curious Many thanks Of Sorry to make it clear its the fac bit Not the capacity Thanks for your help Edited January 16, 2014 by Old farrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatsanmad Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 It is not illegal to use a semi auto or pump action to shoot pheasant with. It is not allowed on pheasant shoots as they are difficult to tell if they are safe or not and as long as there is no more then two shots in the gun. As for shooting them on the roost i am not sure but i know it is a unwritten code that it shouldnt be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
