tom1cameron 1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Gentlemen....Canada geese were not put on the pest list for nothing...they are causing localised agricultural and more importantly ecological disruption in some areas...their numbers are increasing and current levels of shooting on the residents in the UK is far from reaching any "national" disgrace..... So assuming they are going to be eaten....why not. The whole point about shooting Canda geese, Grey squirrels etc etc is to reduce their numbers! Ethics is a funny game...I would throw my toys out of the pram if that was Icelandic greys but not resident greys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he should have stuck it on the pest control section then because i definitely wouldnt call it wildfowling or sport for that matter. Foxy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tom1cameron 1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) Maybe you are right...Maybe he should have..........As I said ...Ethics is a funny subject.....as is the definition of wildfowling.....but I dont think it is fair to condem him when many others kill as many geese over inland decoys between more guns. As long as it is not wanton waste, and as long as it is not birds from natural European migratory flightlines .....if that were the case I would agree with you....that is when it is just not on. Still not had a shot on Canada's ........hopefully one morning this week ps just to start a debate........ what is sport...the skill in the shot or the number you take or the fact that you killed it or the fact that you ate it....... I dont like this notion of "Sporting shot"....it is about safety and clean kills regardless of how easy or difficult the shot was! Just a thought.

Blakloks 5 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 if they are a pest then its maybe different up here a party of guns shot 60 canadas and greys in land we aint got a big population of them so it was well out of order but on the solway you get used to cowboys who dont respect the quarry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
