hunting laws


Recommended Posts


Any more info? Were you on private land? Have permission? Did you believe the hare was injured?

i was on land that i have permission from the farmer. i had just slipped her on a rabbit in a stubble field when she had gone around a bit of cover i lost sight of her by the time i had got around the corner the hare was up and running and she wasnt too far behind

The Hunting Act makes it an offence to "INTENTIONALY" hunt a mammal with a dog. If you accidently and un intentionaly pursue and/or kill a mammal with a dog, you have comitted NO offence. Proving it was accidental might be more difficult, if you're caught bang to rights, though !!!

Cheers.

So you didn't even know she was on the hare then until it was too late! I'm assuming you tried to stop her once you realised, if so then you're innocent in my book :thumbs:

lol, well said witton

 

The way i see it, i was flushing it for my catty, when they ask were the catty is i'd say, oops, must of dropped it?

 

theres a one, what can you quarry with? I know you cant shoot a deer with a twelve bore, or at night. But is there a law saying you cant take hare and fox with a catty? or air rifle? day or night?
