pestcontrol121 11 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Ok thanks. Just wanna get out and shoot some Bunnies and Odd fox. Seen loads about. But no rifle ! Is that a .22 rimfire you put in for or a .22 hornet ? as you say you shoot the odd fox and would like to know if you got fox on your ticket, i take it its your 1st firearms and its unusual to be granted fox with a .22 rimfire but not a .22 hornet, Don't think i'm having a pop at you just like to know as some people don't know the law and would'nt want anyone getting into a dispute with their FEO over a missunderstanding of whats allowed and whats not, I have been down this road many years ago and i do have fox on my .22 rimfire and know how hard it is to get this,it might be the FEO in Devon / Cornwall have a different approach or view on shooting fox.

fox_hunter 1 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 22 rimfire mate The FEO said to me if your going to shoot fox with your 22 rimfire. Make sure u got high velocity bullets and it's close so a certain kill Quote Link to post
