Shooting season

Can you shoot this time of year I thought shooting season was over?

I can definitely hear a shoot going on not far from my house.

Could it be clays?

I think you can shoot vermin all year round, so crows, pigeons etc. I remember reading that when shooting deer you should try to shoot females whilst they are pregnant, rather than leaving a dependant baby somewhere, but I don't think it was law.

It sounds like multiple shots at once so not like a clay shoot

I suppose it could be that neighbouring farmer does what he likes anyway and seems to get away with it.

Game birds and deer have shooting seasons which vary depending which species you're talking about & where you are. Rabbits can be shot all year round. Crows and magpies can be shot at any time of year if there is 'serious agricultural damage' for example danger to new born lambs.

Thank you it seems to have stopped now.

I think as above only crows and clay and vermin at this time of year

It might be a bird scarer if you get a few shots then silence and a while later a few shots again

Pheasants? We have a shoot near us, they seem to go most weekends sadly. Not sure when geese season is also?

They can only shoot pheasants in winter.

And too late to edit my previous post but it seems there is s season for rabbits too, according to the above link.

I never knew there was a rabbit season

It’s probably pigeons or crows shooting, protecting the crops.
