Shooting on Sunday

[l'ordinary bonville]

Is shooting crows legal on sundays and bank holidays?

Game shooting isn’t and obviously lots of clay shooting happens on sundays.

Just looking for clarification

Shooting vermin and pest control is legal any day of the week

 

[Nithsdale]

As said, vermin/pest control is legal every day.

It doesn't feel right, to me, going out on a Sunday afternoon say. But dad conditioned that into me telling me it was frowned upon, shooting on a Sunday, when I was young and daft with the air rifle.

But I've spent many a Sat night well into Sunday morning out lamping...

Sometimes Sunday is the only day one could get out on the pigeons if working flat out. Bangs are part of the countryside. Just like living in town you have to sometimes put up with neighbours blasting shite music in next doors garden... can you tell where I live ?

That's what we were taught when we started shooting , not on Sunday, ' as it was a 'disturbance of the peace. '

The lads that shoot winged rats on or place are quite often out on a sunday

 

[MrNoo]

They were out around here yesterday, didnt sound very busy. I even went out with the rifle in the eve, lovely evening.

Sounds like the estate next door are having a pheasant shoot this morning from around 7 am.

It used to be a orange order Religious thing here, a lot of police were in the Orange order and if they caught you out hunting on a Sunday they would take your guns ,Thankfully that type of control and dominating is over,

Nope, you just don’t shoot on a Sunday. It’s almost part of the countryside code....

Our village shooting club shoots on Sunday mornings once a month but after 10.30am. I’d shoot pigeons on a Sunday mind I probably haven’t even for 2 years

 

[Doing it for the kids]

Game can be off duty on a Sunday.

vermin never get a days grace here

We never shoot on a Sunday.....makes it a day of peace for the neighbours. I would worry about something moderated subsonic or an air rifle though.

We were taught never to shoot on a Sunday, too. We weren't religious, it was just to give everyone and everything a day of rest. What really peed me off a few years ago was someone shooting in the distance on Armistice Day. The town's maroon went off and the shooting continued right through the two minute silence.

Same here. And the same with strimmer, hedge-trimmer, mower and chainsaw - leave it out for just one day a week. It's hard though, when all your neighbours are at it.

Agree, some on here need to remember their back garden is no more important than Phil and Linda’s tiny back garden! No shots on a Sunday!

The most important areas for me are the crops. If they’re getting hammered by pigeons then there’ll be shots going off on Sunday. We wouldn’t do it right next to peoples’ properties. Game is a no on sundays but I won’t allow vermin the pleasure of unhindered destruction. I do however think that shooting through the two minutes silence on Armistice Day is completely stupid and disrespectful.

Even clay pigeons?

Even clay pigeons?

Only if you dress and eat them.
