i used to control my munties a one time with a shotgun and i had to get a licence to do this
do you still have to or have things changed?
how many times hav you had a munty run down your throat then turn into cover at the last second just as you pull the trigger so it gets shot up the rear end if lucky you disable it, easy to find ,just follow the squealing would you shoot it up the rear end with your rifle.
i think not
not got a problem with deer drives ,sorry mole, moving deer but why use a dog to move them, beaters walking through move deer a lot more slowly so the deer are not racing around with a dog up its butt allowing an easier shot for the gun
oh , unless you are doing walked up munty won't hav the deer run down your throat there then only running from you ,best get the spaniel a safety vest then in bright orange might help.
i wonder if i turn up for my level 2 assesment with a shotgun to shoot a deer what will happen.
did you pass your level 2 using a shot gun or a rifle?
this is not bull**** snobbery this is all about deer wellfare in my veiw to kill an animal with the least amount of suffering possible it is always going to be a good idea to hav a dog to help follow up any injured deer , no one i know using shotgun or rifle drops eveything they shoot on the spot my self included
