Stabs 3 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 They've been in Kent for ages and the media local to where I was always reported them getting knocked over on the main road....it all became a bit matter of fact.....and no, you can't run them.....and no, you can't run CWD either Link to post
Malt 379 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Pest, invasive species or otherwise, the only mammals you can legally hunt are rats & rabbits. This come up before, I thought you might be able to get round it because they were marsupials, but then JD reminded me that they still got tits, and are therefore still mammals! Link to post

GET THEM OUT (.)(.) 39 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) would you eat one ? Edited November 2, 2009 by GET THEM OUT (.)(.) Link to post
longdog13 36 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 would you eat one ? Damn right i would, There's not much i've not tried eating :search: Link to post
webby 31 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) i knew that they couldnt be run because they are classed as mammals but didnt know if hoppers came under the same law but CWD are classed as pest but can only be shot but when doing this you don t need a licence to hunt/take home game or deer Christ yeah id eat it, Farmed ROO or WOLL is probably as expensive as red deer per lb Edited November 2, 2009 by webby Link to post
