I think you are getting confused with the recommended airgun quarry list. Whilst it gives you a list of quarry, it doesn't say that it's illegal to kill other game with an air rifle. It might be seen as unsporting in some quarters, but it's deffo not illegal, ie. no law against it. You can read all the recommended lists you wish to, be it from defra, BASC, whatever, but a recommended quarry list is not a law. There's tons of pages on this stuff in this section, it's been done to death. Check the back pages of this section. Quote Link to post
