what is the Law with regards to shooting pheasant with an air rifle?

[ian321]

I don't think there's much much challenge in shooting a pheasant with an air rifle. never was there a more stupid bird. Sheep with wings!!!
I've run so many over by accident I've lost count...... trouble is three cock pheasants V Swift GTI and scratch one Swift front valence. Still havent worked out who to send the bill to.
I suppose that as they are reared they are some sort of live stock and should not be wanderering all over the road.
Agree with the previous comment. Pigeons are tastier.
Angry from Hereford.

I would sooner stalk a rabbit than a pheasant, the kill zone on a rabbits much bigger too

Usually shoot walked up or driven Pheasants 8 days a year. I shoot them with a shotgun. It is not easy and its a lot of fun. I am absolutely comfortable with what I do and I have no problem with anyone shooting their pheasants with an air rifle if they choose.
