Haven't got time to a write up unfortunatley but I have a few pics to share, nice shooting session on saturday with my mate, i got 3 bunnies all cracking headshots - proper THWACKS! a jay and a pic of something I saw but didn't shoot, just used my scope as zoom for camera, lovely sight:

Nice shooting Lee, always nice to watch Deer, proves your feildcraft is ok

[Lee85 44]

Didn;t think of it like that you know!

Nice going buddy

 

I do wish people wouldn't shoot the Jays though

 

Purely selfish reasons though

If people left em alone, then maybe I'd get some over this part of the country :angle:

 

Nah seriously, I dont think they will be on the GL for long now as they are getting so rare and they are actually responsible for most new Oak Trees

 

I love th epic of the Deer thats awsome buddy

thanks phantom - regarding the jay situation - over here there's plenty, lots and lots infact - and that permission is quite a small one, lovely birds though i must admit, I have in the past said to myself that I wouldn't shoot another but when the oppertunity arrives i take it, although I have left quite a few alone also, was great to see the deer, shame i didn't have a FAC gun, that'd fill my cheat freezer!

Shame you cant catch and box a few and bring em round here for me

 

I've never seen a live Jay and I'm 40+

 

I've often thought about the Jay, would I wouldn't I?

 

If its on the GL then its a legit target

If its on the GL then its a legit target

 

Only if it meets the conditions of the general licence!

 

Section 1 of the GL allows taking or killing of the included species only to

 

"(i)Prevent serious damage to livestock, foodstuffs for livestock, crops, vegetables, fruit, growing timber, fisheries or inland waters, and

(ii) Prevent the spread of disease."

 

Or possibly to "preserve public health or public safety"

 

So if there were only a few, and they weren't causing damage, the GL would not apply!

 

But you knew that anyway!

[Phantom 631]

Indeed I did as do most of us on here, but there are still a few newbies out here that probably didn't or just dont give a damn anyway.

 

Seen a few who don't care and seem to think that if it breathes its a target regardless

Well done Lee

[gerron 13]

We used to only see the odd one around our shoot but last winter there was litterally hundreds of them so we shot a few a think about a dozen or so during pheasant drives
