Hunting Act 2004

[Rabbithunter 456]

Just been reading up on the hunting act, to make sure i am keeping up lawful practise's and here is what i read

 

-----------------------------

Stalking and flushing out

1

(1) Stalking a wild mammal, or flushing it out of cover, is exempt hunting if the conditions in this paragraph are satisfied.

(2) The first condition is that the stalking or flushing out is undertaken for the purpose of—

(a) preventing or reducing serious damage which the wild mammal would otherwise cause—

(i) to livestock,

(ii) to game birds or wild birds (within the meaning of section 27 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (c. 69)),

(iii) to food for livestock,

(iv) to crops (including vegetables and fruit),

(v) to growing timber,

(vi) to fisheries,

(vii) to other property, or

(viii) to the biological diversity of an area (within the meaning of the United Nations Environmental Programme Convention on Biological Diversity of 1992),

( obtaining meat to be used for human or animal consumption, or

© participation in a field trial.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I would like to draw attention to (2)( B ) "obtaining meat to be used for human or animal consumption"

Does this mean that i can lawfully course hare & deer (on land with permission to perform such an act) if i intend to use the carcass for human or animal consumption

Yes, flush or stalk.......

 

What if we were to class "stalk" as stalking upto an animal, then slipping a dog, rather than firing a gun?

[riohog 5,701]

if you are on permision ground ,and you want to course a hare in the day time just take a hawk or gun and let the dogs course and kill the hare and if some one sees you doing it and reports you just tell them the truth [the hawk did not take of to catch the hare and the dogs killed it ,nothing you could do .or if you took a shot with the gun there was a chance that you might have hit one of the dogs so you had to refrain from taking the shot ,and the dogs killed it ,it was not intentinal .

this is fool proof [why do you think hunts still go fox hunting.]those that dont drag hunt im on about the ones that you dont get to hear about ,the ones that they have tried to take to court but the CPS have droped the case before it came to court ,because of the hawk or the gun involved when out hunting .
