The gun is a .308 howa and the bullet is a 150 grain spear soft point, the same ones we use for the boar, they tend to open them up a bit at close range.
I have just applied for a 220 swift for the muntjac as the 308 is a little strong shall we say, anyway i get a phone call today off firearms dept and the chap says the ground that i want to use it on will have to be checked for the calibre and the presence of the deer, now i have an open cert for fox deer and wild boar on the 308 so why cant they just give me the swift for the muntjac that im already shooting with the other gun, is this normal.
I hate the police going round to new ground that you have just got and asking all these stupid questions that they already know the answers to and expecting the landowner to walk round with them, the other thing is the local firearms officer should know the whereabouts of the deer in the area but if he dosnt will he have to stalk around there early one morning to see if he can see any ????
