Title: Re: Hunting Post by: outragous76 on August 24, 2011, 01:29:07 PM A good family friend of mine teaches deer stalking in Scotland
you need to pass exams pre visit, then the sceond part of your qualifications is the "stalk" I can pass details if you are interested. Its at Loch Doon (SW scotland), they put people up in their home during the practical as its in the middle of the countryside. Title: Re: Hunting Post by: Dubai on August 24, 2011, 01:31:26 PM Not sure we will wanna pass exams- was thinking more get given a crossbow with machete also strapped to chest and get on with it ourselves haha, maybe its all very regulated then?
Title: Re: Hunting Post by: outragous76 on August 24, 2011, 02:01:05 PM Depends what you want to shoot really.
As an abs min, you need land owners permission and they would want to know your experience. Tbh you wouldn't get near a deer without training. I'm sure that you could get some hunting done somewhere thou Title: Re: Hunting Post by: Dino on August 24, 2011, 03:16:19 PM you cannot hunt with any bow in the U.K.
Title: Re: Hunting Post by: Cf on August 24, 2011, 03:34:35 PM you cannot hunt with any bow in the U.K. Isn't there some daft law that means it's legal to kill a scotsman in york if he's carrying a bow and arrow?

In Whip ma Whop ma Gate in York think there is a law where you can still tie your missus up and giver her a good whipping. If you want some good old fashioned hunting get over to Riga! They have excursion type things set up with no legalities like over here.
