dogvixen01 34 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 even if a gun is up to dispatching a fox at a certain distance , what ultimately decides the range is the distance you can accurately shoot at in order to dispatch it humanely .atb. 1 Quote Link to post
TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Hi When I first applied for a fac for 22 and .17 a few years back prior to getting a cf I asked about using them for fox control and the feo said I has to have the word fox stated on the cert as if not it can cause confusion for The shooter, pictured below is the conditions of my cert I've taken it on my phone so hope u can see,this is how it's been since day one even though it states fox if it's not a sensible range then don't bother, that's why I went cf just for that job and leave the rimmys for bunnys etc I think your best to check before getting I'n trouble,some areas allow it some don't I believe, like said better safe than In it upto the neck, Wording on certificates can be a funny old game Atb Edited February 29, 2012 by TWOTWOTHREE Quote Link to post

The Duncan 802 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yep it's the usual ending,hows the hunt for a new a new scope for the .17 Atb Still umming and arring over magnification! 10 x42, or go the full 6-24x 50 for rangefinding ability? On my current scope the objective lens adjustment only goes to 150 yards, after that you just get the infinity symbol.It would be handy if it went to 200 yards really. Quote Link to post

Deker 3,478 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 You have to have fox specificaly mentioned on your licence unfortunatly vermin doesn't cover it. ATB No you don't, this has been debated many a time, and VERMIN is still being debated, fox obviously works, but so to does ANY OTHER LAWFUL QUARRY, and there is nothing in that that mentions fox!

richmcgin 32 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have just come off the phone with Avon & Somerset and they say that they will not give fox control on a .22lr only vermin, but they also say that if a fox becomes available at a suitable range it can be killed as vermin. but they also say that this changes from force to force because of the views of the chief officer. they also say they will not give fox at any time for .17hmr. I know this has changed as on my previous ticket i had fox control for my .22lr as well as the 223. Quote Link to post

Getting an ANY OTHER LAWFUL QUARRY condition certainly does though! Edited March 1, 2012 by Deker Quote Link to post
