bob300w Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Try local restaurants and any game dealers in the area, you may even find a butcher with a game license, but they are becoming as rare as rocking horse ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Remember that to sell them to go into the human food chain, such as taking them to gamedealers etc. You will need a registered hunters number, you get these after completion of a game meat handling course. You dont need these if you are going to be giving the meat away. Edited April 8, 2008 by beatingisbest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 still good fun though So you would shoot a deer with a shotgun because it's "still good fun though" ? You don't deserve to own any firearm you stupid little boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 If theres damage and the relevant shot size are used its still legal isn't it? Use of Shotguns for Shooting Deer 11-09-05 USE OF SHOTGUNS FOR SHOOTING DEER Introduction In general, the law forbids the use of smooth-bore guns to kill uninjured wild deer. BDS strongly supports this line and recommends that a full-bore rifle which meets the legal ballistic requirements of the Scottish and English/Welsh Deer Acts should always be the firearm of choice for deer management purposes. However the law allows the use any smooth-bore gun for the humane destruction of an injured or diseased deer in all parts of UK. At close range any size of shot fired from any gauge of shotgun is sufficiently lethal to end a deer's suffering humanely. BDS fully supports this use of shotguns on deer to end suffering provided they are used safely and according to the published Code on Conduct. The use of specially adapted shotguns as a "slaughtering instrument" for killing deer brought to bay during deer hunts is another legal exemption to which the Society has no objection in humane terms if properly used at close range. Other Legal Use of a Shotgun Shotguns [in all cases 12 bore or larger] may be used to shoot at uninjured deer only: a) Where the deer are causing serious damage to agricultural crops, trees or other commercial property; Only in Scotland may a shotgun be used to protect the "Natural Heritage" e.g. wild habitats and plants from serious deer damage.

digger Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Is a shotgun a firearm ? That aside claiming shooting deer is "fun" just beacuse you can is the height of stupidity, I fear another Aled, shoots one at 5000yds with the .177 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 "i'll be doing it with my dads .243 " Now how are you going to do that when according to your post of yesterday, neither you or your father have a firearm certificate? "i am 16 years old and i have a shotgun certificate. My dad also has a shotgun certificate with 12 shotguns on it, he is thinking of giving his certificate up this time. Am i allowed to keep the guns at my house if they are on my certificate if my dad classed it as he gave them to me? " I think that if you have done your homework, it's way past your bedtime. "Is a shotgun a firearm ? That aside claiming shooting deer is "fun" just beacuse you can is the height of stupidity, I fear another Aled, shoots one at 5000yds with the .177; Digger" Yep, spot on Digger, we've got another one, this one's about as much use as rubber lips on a woodpecker.
