I was out today walking the dog at this place I'm on about and not long got home when I posted yh I may get an answer out of them but all depends on if they have had a reason to want to hunt public land otherwise they may not have known

I didn't mean to be too harsh . . .

 

But honestly, you don't have to be a genius to realise that there is no such thing as 'public land'. . . . and that parks and public gardens are not designated as convenient hunting preserves . . . .

 

EVERYTHING is owned by someone. . . . whether that person objects or catches you is another matter.

Yes I appreciate what you are saying but uk law is a complicated thing so many loop holes it's not cut an Dried in every instance in all honesty I think if you ask a question no mater how silly it may seem to some better to ask on a forum such as this because if I was caught doing said act and in my defence I said I didn't know I'm sure people would have said why didn't you ask we would have told you!!! But instead you have brought our sport into the spotlight in a bad way !!!

Fair play mate. . . . you are conscientious.

[Kemperz21 65]

Thank you I just love doing what I do and would be broken if I could not carry on as per normal this is why I would rather ask a question than end up another idiot who's cocked it up for hunters

" Public Land ", in the very vastest majority of cases, will be council owned land.

 

You'd have more chance of getting ye head up my behind than ye would have gaining permission to 'hunt' from a council.

 

Unless, of course, you're in USA?

this i had council come round to my house for hunting on some waste ground mate whatevers public you need council permission to do it right
