A lot of places. Part of night shooting license says "head or neck should not be taken". I don't agree, it should be up to the man pulling the trigger. Sometimes it's a welfare issue not to shoot them in the head because it's the only option or the juvenile will get away

That has been updated and you can now head shoot at night.

Head shot very simple at night with those eyes glowing in the beam of the lamp.
Not that I would know, of course....

Says he who’s never slapped a jaw!

So if we’re now allowed to shoot the head at night, what happens if you slap a jaw, and the animal runs with the herd? Where is the animal welfare in that?

Oh, that’s okay. Animal welfare doesn’t come into night shooting does it?

No different to a broken leg/shoulder or one in the stomach

Personally I pin shoulders with. 7mm bullet and don’t care about the price at the dealer

shakey jake · Mar 19, 2026

Of course some deer will be lost, chest, gut, head, jaw, neck, too low.
Same happens with pheasants, rabbits, foxes, ducks, geese.
If people dont want to wound dont shoot.
If lee doesnt want do shoot deer at night he shouldnt do it.
I cant be the only person that thinks lee has got his point out there and doesnt need to keep banging his drum

And in reply, will probably cross the boundary and I, and then it’s not your fault anymore, and then you have pulled the trigger is closed unnecessary suffering when you could’ve bust shoulders dropped it on the spot

So day and night are the same.
Thankyou for clearing that up.
What happens if you mess up a shoulder shot and gut shoot it?

The exact reason I use a 7mm it doesn’t take prisoners, also I pick and choose where I take my shots.

Ok, what happens if someone else messes up a shoulder shot and gut shoots it?

So the same as shooting at night in the jaw?

How many jaw shot there have you tracked?

I’ve tracked a lot, and I mean a lot and that cements my hatred of the jaw shot!

All for the sake of what a few more quid at the Game Dealer
