A few weeks back a pal of mine told me he was given a haunch of venison
from one of his work colleagues. Instantly suspicious it got me thinking of the whole situation. The lad who gave him the venison only has a .17 for foxes and mainly shoots at night. I don't know for sure that he did shoot it with his .17 or at night but my point is this. Is the law on shooting Deer explained and publicised enough so that people who may just be starting out with shotguns/.22's etc know and learn that there are serious laws to be adhered to when it comes to shooting deer.
I was wondering what anybody's thoughts were and if they think maybe BASC and or the police should be doing more to educate all of its members about the implications of shooting deer.
