i live in wiltshire whom are generaly very good with my rifles but they did get a little upset when they found out i was lamping with my .308, and just like you all i said well it does state i can use it for fox as well as deer and they then explained that they will now not allow any rifle over .22-250 to be granted just for use on foxes and that when its on your ticket for deer and fox its only for if you see a fox whilst stalking. well if this is the case and to be honest i dont think it is there are a lot of people not using there rifles in accordance with there conditions due to the rules not being properly explained
