Just had a call to "assasinate" 5x Peacocks tomorrow.
Yes, it is legal. Yes I have AOLQ on my ticket.

Anybody got any recipes? I'm guessing they're just a large pheasant.

Older ones can be really tough, but nice slow cooked an put in a pie with mushroom and leek. The young ones are very nice roasted. Similar to guinea fowl.
 
My pal had dozens fly over his pens and got the OK to cull them... Eating them never came into it.
 
Will not take a lot of shooting, .22 to the head, they ate moulting now , so rails should be short.
 
I draw the line at primates. Partridge is pretty dismal too...

Absolutely.
There was something on here about shooting using a .223 for baboons, I'd be using .243 minimum, horrible creatures.
They seem to take pleasure in faffing about in the road in front of you and go bonkers when you toot the horn, worse than Glasgow :).
 
A shooting aquaintence shot 259 Rhesus Baboons in a morning with a .22 Ruger 10/22 rimfire and it was supervised by Police and SNH. A harrowing sight.
