cantona 310 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 could someone tell me if using nets to cover holes on fox earths is illegal or not, obviously done for the protection of game birds to be shot with a gun after, thanks Quote Link to post

cantona 310 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 All you need to know is pinned up the top of the page which is why i asked to be honest, nothing more than nets to block holes it says, but a police countryside liasion officer has said that the use of nets is illegal Quote Link to post
rosco p 0 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think you will find he is wrong . The law is very confusing Quote Link to post
Barrie 1,325 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 He's most definitely wrong and the law (for once) is very clear on this matter. The Act clearly states that the ONLY obstruction which may be placed over entrance holes IS A NET. See here... It may be worth downloading a few of the NWTF cards and show him one next time.
