You make it sound like the old myth that a girl can't get pregnant if she does it standing up and keeps one foot on the floor.
Bugger - you sure about this ????
rifle on stile standing off my permission muzzle in my permission
only cover I can use
I do not think it is armed trespass ie public right of way
I will ask landowner for permission
any ideas
A RoW is owned by somebody. If you do not have permission from the land owner to be on that land with a loaded gun then I would view it as armed trespass if it were to become a police matter. As written by somebody else it is where you are standing that matters, you are holding the gun.
You are not in Scotland so you are subject to English/Welsh Law.
Stop shooting now and get hold of a copy of Parkes/Thornley book Deer Law and Liabilities, read it from cover to cover and then maybe start shooting again.
Can one be guilty of trespass on a PoW? even in England or Wales.
One would assume so with a loaded firearm in ones possession.......
Interesting assumption. Any basis for it?

I have checked this with BASC as I have a similar situation on one of my permissions.
It is Legal to shoot deer on land where you have permission to shoot, if you shoot it from a public right of way on neighbouring land, that runs adjacent to your boundary.
