Paul in North Lincs. Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 thanks................thats clearled that up........even though the logic behind it sounds completely backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight32 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 thanks................thats clearled that up........even though the logic behind it sounds completely backwards The logic is indeed truly fruitless. That is why I always maintained the ban on lead for wildfowling was a total farce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FULL STOP!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 The logic is in policing the ban. If you say no lead in wildfowl then you can take action if any are found shot with lead. Then you can't have the argument that they weren't shot over water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nav54 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 the logic is backwards mate but then thats our goverment for ya. We have that problem where some rough shooting is done next to wet meadows and it is a very grey area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Does anyone know exactly: 1. what the consequence is on shooting said geese with lead; and, 2. anyone who has been caught (and what the consequences were, exactly) Just interested, that's all......
