tigger got stichs Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 can we or can we not shoot over stubbles under the new CL36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Simple answer. Read the licence... BASC have even done a FAQ following it. What will you tell the Police if they pull up? "Someone on pigeon watch told me it was ok!" ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rim Fire Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) i do believe on another post a regular on here ask a question about the law being changed about having written permission off every landowner some bloke saying the law had changed. I for one hadn't heard of this but if the op had not ask the question he would not have known the correct answer and saved himself a lot of grief Edited August 4, 2019 by Rim Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is not the raising of being the question which has been observed upon but the way in which some choose to respond to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 The rudeness is unacceptable. However the GL mess has been going on for long enough now to enable regular and irregular pigeon shooters to keep up to date. I remember not many months ago, several weeks into the ban on pigeon and corvid shooting and despite hundreds of posts on this forum and national coverage in newspapers and on tv someone started a new thread asking if anyone on PW knew about the ban on pigeon shooting.

Don't forget J Dog not everyone is as intelligent as others as was pointed out to me by you know who but if people don't ask they will not know it is better to ask and be correct than get your rifles or shotguns taken off them and be on the wrong side of the law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 There are several reasons why someone on a shooting forum may either not be fully aware of the latest changes or need reassurance from their community. Pigeon or decoying in general may simply not be their usual field sport, they may have done a little in the past and decided to have a fresh go or perhaps a farmer has asked them to, such a person wouldn't necessarily have clicked on every topic of discussion on the subject. In short the events would have been of varying degrees of importance to different people. I vaguely know tail docking is illegal but until the day I need to chop one off there's little point memorising the fine detail or learn the loopholes. They may have read the new licence but felt they couldn't fully comprehend certain points, they may have even heard contradictory advice from different shooters (when has that ever happened !). Worst case scenario is they're just too lazy to do the research themselves so they ask a straightforward question, even then it's not right to mock, if you know the answer then give it, I bet plenty reading this particular thread would have been interested in the answer .

Well said. I am a firm believer that the most stupid question out there is the one not asked. If you don't know or don't understand something ask someone that does! I will confess I don't everything but I'm not afraid to ask someone that does. There are many on here who have much more shooting knowledge than me but I will admit reading some of the blunt responses on this post I sometimes don't want to ask for fear getting some to the initial responses the op got. Getting more knowledge is why I joined the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they call the Police and they turn up the OP and anyone else needs to know what they’re doing and have read the licence to ensure they’re following the terms of it. As said, it’s no good telling the copper “pigeon watch said it’s ok”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
