Of course it is not obvious on stubbles nor roosting and flighting but pests need to be shot whenever they can be in my simplistic view. These photos are from today 1st May. That’s quite a bit of damage , I showed the pictures to my wife who is a non-shooting non-country person I didn’t show her the write-up I asked her to tell me about the picture and what her thoughts were she looked for a while and said It’s a field it’s an agricultural field with tractor tracks, Then she read the write-up where is the crop damage then my point is she didn’t know what she was looking at until I explained it to her we had quite a conversation, how many other people don’t know what they’re looking at and haven’t got anybody to explain it to them so they only know what they Say on the telly or what other organisations tell them I don’t think it’s just these pictures it’s probably all pictures I think maybe it could be difficult to get Ourpoint across properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberisle Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 If this ban came as a result of a European directive from years ago, how do the Dutch manage to be able to shoot Crows and Pigeons, they are in the EU https://www.youtube.com/watchv=tFYDR7NwQcs This guy does a great job of knocking down Crows and Pigeons, if its ok in Europe it should be ok here.....we havent left yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a way around for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver fox 1 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Okay here’s what I found in the Netherlands they seem to have something similar along the lines of the general license but you have to pay €85 Per annum for it and you have to do a hunting course, going to have a look at some other EU countries to see what they are doing.
