Am I allowed to shoot a deer?

[essexlad06 0]

I know that I am not allowed but say I had my fac and a decent rifle. What else is stopping me and what would I have to do in order to be legal to shoot deer.

 

I dont intend on shooting deer im just curious as to the answers.

 

Thanks

You would need to have deer stated on your FAC before you could shoot one.

Yep had my rifle for a week now. But I would like to know my limitations on how far my hobby can go!

 

As I was told that only people registered with the ministry can shoot deer!

 

My bsa is certainly not powerful enough though I would love something with abit more whack.

moving a bit fast aint ya pal, i agree with what hpool_hunter says 100% but just take it slow a week of shooting an air rifle i would say is not long enough to want to move up to a rifle. ATB paddy

I've been shooting airguns for over 47 years now and I'm still not bored with them, I also shoot powder burning rifles and shotguns too!.

If, and it's a BIG if, when you move on to a rimfire, do you think you will be bored with that after a couple of weeks?? what will you be after then, a Chieften Tank maybe.

I may be wrong but I've a strong feeling you were asking the same sort of questions about shotguns just a short time ago.

Yep, certainly sounds that way to me...

Nope wrong person mate shotguns defo not my cup of tea!

 

Everybody says learn about my air rifle etc etc but is there really that much to learn?

 

I am learning by the way by asking lots of questions on this forum.

[Mr_Logic 5]

Forums are fine, but you only EVER learn in the real world.

Not being rude, but this guy just cant be serious, I have also been following his posts he is either 11 years old or on the wind up!

[paddy.t 5]

*) How to strip down clean and oil you gun

*) Distance judgement

*) Safe or unsafe shots

*) What your quarry is and its habbits

 

lots and lots to learn pal.

i have found the perfect rifle that would suit your every need, back yard plinking, to targets over a couple of miles away, it would be a perfect rabbit gun. oh, & would be a perfect choice for dear & probably the other 20 standing behind it...

 

only down side is the cost & each shot is around £7 so doing your own loading might be an option.
