Born Hunter 17,743 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 its legal if your digging to fox with terriers for stock or bird protection, providing you have the landowners/shoots permision and you have in possesion a shotgun or firearm for humane dispatch. It's worth pointing out that foxing with a terrier for the protection of livestock is very much illegal. You can only bolt/dig fox with a terrier to protect game birds. Everyone should have this straight if ever the authorities turn up when you're on permission. If off permission then you are fecked no matter the reason. if thats the case, how do hunt terreir men go on then The professional terrierman is effectively redundant. Unless of course asked by landowners/gamekeepers to protect game birds.... The law is retarded, but it is the law. 1 Quote Link to post

events co-ordinator 353 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Its perfectly legal to use terriers in Scotland for the protection of LIVESTOCK . The terriers can be used above or below ground as long as the fox is shot with a shotgun or firearm at first safe opportunity the relevant act Is The Protection Of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002. It doesnt say you need to be protecting anything and above ground we can still use a pack of hounds or terriers as long as the intention is to shoot the Fox. 1 Quote Link to post

AndrewEdwardDennis 9 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) As stated, you may only dig/bolt foxes if it for the protection of game birds - In England anyway. you may only use one terrier below ground, you must not block off the foxes exit holes with nets or anything else, the idea is to get it to bolt to a waiting gun. All the information is staring you straight in the face at the top of the scree... ATB Edited November 17, 2011 by AndrewEdwardDennis Quote Link to post
