dunganick Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Well my old man has just had his renewal and he is told by the Firearms officer that when he recieves it back the .22 hornet and .222 will be cleared for the small deer species (cant recall which ones atm) First case of this that ive heard of going onto someones lisence. However he was told he had to produce evidence of a piece of land where deer were a PEST and he could nto have the condition just incase he needed to cull deer with a .22 centerfire.

Dunkield Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 It's munjac and CWD and the go live date is 1st October (Monday) I don't see why they have to be seen as a pest to be shot with a .22 centrefire and not with 'normal' deer rifle Like everything else, I bet there will be different interpretations of the new law by region, and the postcode lottery will continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
