SportingShooter 0 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 There are very specific reasons why you can shoot Seagulls of any kind as per the General License. The shooting of them for Prevention of Disease or Public Safety is out because that is left to professional as a rule. Protection of Gamebirds and Wild Birds could be a possibility if you have them on the ground. Protection of Crops isn't viable really unless you can prove it. But have a look at the licenses, they are pinned in the Airgun Forum SS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zig zag wanderer 0 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Great Black Backed, Lesser Black Backed and Herring Gulls are the pest gull species. However under the General Licence there need to be specific reasons to contol these to satisfy the law. Nuisance isn't one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zig zag wanderer 0 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 WML Gen-L05 That should cover you for causing damage to foodstuffs for livestock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SportingShooter 0 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yep, that license will, but you really must be sure of the Gulls you are pointing at Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murraywatt 0 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 i thought they were a bird of prey a shite hawk shite hawks are the name given to red kites diffrent kettle of fish from a gull one of the things you need to think about is whats your reasoning for shooting them, we can only shoot them on the estate at lambing time cos they hassle the lambs s if you think of something like that you should be sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
