No need for me to cry...
I've just had a quick look over this thread, and I've not spotted (though might have missed) the important point about game rights vs vermin-shooting permission.
In order to shoot game as far as I'm aware you need permission not from the landowner or the tenant, but from the holder of the game rights: who might well be neither of those two.

what I find utterly bizzare is the notion Pheasants are such dumb birds they are no sport for an air rifle, yet, its sporting to blast them with a shotgun??
so if you come accross a pheasant on the ground when carrying your shotgun what do you do, shout and wave your arms until it takes off then blast i?
or,
give it a good talking too about putting on a right and proper sporting show so you can blast it with a clear concience?
or
do you blast it stick it in the bag and wander off looking for something else to blast!
just wondering because i can pretty much guess which option would be taken 99% of the time!
sporting? poppycock, if you want sport play football!
No need for me to cry...
Football is a game, not a sport.
Shooting is a sport. A pheasant is game.
The correct procedure is to try option 2 first, letting your dog do the talking, if you have one with you. If that doesn't work, try option 1.

naaaw , killing animals is not sport, its just called that to gloss over what your doing!
I shot plenty of rabbits as a youngster, did i consider it sport or ethical, heck no I did it because i sold the rabbits to buy ammo and I got a kick out of stalking and killing rabbits!

Calling football a sport is glossing over the fact that it is in fact just a game. I don't see how calling shooting a sport glosses over anything - everyone knows birds and animals end up dead if you do it properly.
Anyhow, you seeming to be saying that you don't think shooting is a sport.
I, however, think it is. So there.
