Mallard Duck With Air Rifle?

[opos1337 1]

hi all

 

i am really confused now because everyone says something different... so is it legal to shoot mallard duck using air rifle? of course in open season:)

 

regards

Legally.........Yes.

 

But about as popular as shooting Hares.

Legal yes, in season and with permission, but anything other than a clean kill could leave you open to a court case and a cruelty charge..

as above mate. be very carefull.. get close enough and make sure you hit them in the right spot.

 

i had one with my .177 last year in season at 35 yards on the laser rangefinder, bang on my zero range, it was a rested shot off a fence post, with no wind otherwise i wouldnt have taken it. hit it right next to its eye and it just fell over.

 

they taste sooo goood aswell

just reminded me of when i was young and me and a mate were mooching round a pond , he says" bet i can shoot that duck ", i says" you shoot it and you go in for it" i never thought he'd hit it but sure enough it bobbed over, right i said" go in and get it" he just walked in up to his neck got the duck and came out, never took a single item off , it was mid november and he stood there shaking like a shiteing dog i didnt stop laughing all the way home and i got the duck

What the f**k is that avatar about ?? fekin cruelty

shoot them when their on the banking, or go in for them. or get a spinning rod with a spinner on it and cast it over them and try hook a duck :laugh:

[armdog 196]

get a mate thats scared of ya , it worked for me , i wouldnt shoot it unless i could recover it ! so only if there near the edge

[opos1337 1]

hahaha I like the spinning idea

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

if your good at fishing it should be a piece of piss. if there close enough in anyway lol. just takes patience and a set of sharp trebles.

 

i dont know if its against the law to throw some bread in to the edge of the water to attract them, then shoot them.. might be classed as baiting them or something..?

Only if you put the bread on the trebles.... :whistling: :whistling:
