Jamesbh1968 8 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 So today i went out today with my Catapult in to my local woods, just Plinking away aiming at Trees discarded Tins, i had a lot of Fun seem to be able to shoot adequately with Both hands. I was a Bit Paranoid incase other people saw me and reported me to the local Constabulary, was i doing anthing against the Law. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 If the cops want to be fussy they will charge you for a catapult but most are ok. Try and get some pheasants or pigeons next time you are out 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,235 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Who the heck sees you in the dark anyway? Get your local knowledge sorted out including where the very few plod are going to be in Blairgowrie. Go for a wander without your Milbro among the many stands of trees around you and without doubt you’ll see the roosts. In daytime go back and you’ll see the birds droppings. They are creatures of habit so it’ll give you a starting point. Jok. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I pass an off duty copper some mornings on my way out with the dog with a catapult and a pocket full of ammo and always say good morning to him as he walks his dog. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True but the lad asked if he was doing anything wrong, most carry them hidden anyway but I am in with the keepers so allowed a few birds mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a poaching tool the catapult is easy concealed about one's person the copper i see would never guess i had a catty in my pocket i dare bet. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,235 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I think the Dukes land , around that area is well gamekeepered. From memory they use the Angus Hotel. Slither in after a shoot and sit as close as you dare to, hopefully get some info. Maybe even need some beaters which would open a door. Just a thought. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ger2020 66 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 basically cattys are considered a toy and perfectly legal unless there's evidence or suspicion of it being used for a crime like poaching or vandalism. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
