    what;s the story if a farmer asks ya to shoot a sick animal such as a sheep or bovine?

    I'd very much doubt it would be OK, but I'm open to correction on that (as ever ;) )

    Why would the farmer not call the Vet or the local Knacker if they needed a sick animal put down?

    Bear in mind, your firearm is licenced to you for the purposes of hunting, culling, vermin control, or target shooting - Shooting livestock, even when asked, doesn't fall into any of those reasons for having the firearm, so you could be risking your licence IMO.

    It would be a hard one to explain away if someone wanted to start a sh1t-storm and get you in trouble.

    The word "culling" does have meaning there;). If he is willing to put it in writing and sign and date it that he wanted it done.However the only time I could see that happening is if it was an animal that went beserk and made it impossible for a vet to get close to use a captive bolt killer or injection.:confused:

    i spoke to a farmer on the waterford road in kilkenny a few weeks ago and he said he found a dead cow that had a wound which he thought was a bullet wound from a rifle i had permission on this farm and was told no more and i got it in the neck i dont even own a rifle and was on his neighbours farm but i understand how pissed off he must be giving people the right to shoot his land and be repaid like this i also have a permission in castlewarren but cannot see too many farmers out that way welcoming us in with open arms .idiots .it only takes 1 tool to **** it up for everyone else shooting gets enough bad press without this kind of crap happening 1 a month is someone trying **** up the shooting down this way on purpose or what

    I have 2 friends who have run Hunt kanckeries for 2 different clubs for over 30 years each and they've seen one animal ever that was though to have been accidentally shot.
    i think the , once a month, comment is far fetched to say the least.
