Obviously wood pidgeon and feral are,but what about collared doves and theres a couple of other types ive seen.

It doesn't seem to mention the general license -collared doves were on it last i looked!

Unfortunately it isn't quite as straight forward as that Ben,first of all you are supposed to be able to prove that you have tried every other method to sort out the birds,and that includes Pigeons etc.

The first requirement is that you have read the licence if you have then you know the conditions if you have'nt you are'nt entitled to use the licence. Download the licence on to your computer and that way if you are challenged you can demonstrate that you are complying with the licence requirements remember and update it every January and remember also Scotland and England have different licences so check the licence you are operating under is relevant to your area of operation.

If i understand this correctly http://www.basc.org.uk/en/codes-of-practice/woodpigeon-shooting.cfm is it saying you need a general license to shoot wood pidgeon aswell then?
