Thread: So what deer, etc are allowed to be shot?

Dear Agony Aunt.

Biggest furry thing I've bowled so far is a hare and looking to up the anti a bit now I've had a play with the centrefires. I have some hand loads and am happy that I could get inside a 5" - 6" diameter circle out to about 300m with ease, so I think I'm ready. Now the big question is what am I allowed to shoot, as going by another forum if its a species with horns not very much. Think I've narrowed it down to only males over about 9' at the shoulder with hard antlers that are just able to get the TV antenna down mountain valleys in a period of about two to three weeks at some stage during the year. Anything else could be in the club with the next batch of afore mentioned beast (in about 10 years time) or busy possibly developing into such beast that you aren't allowed to take as someone else would like to see if indeed it develops into afore mentioned beast (in which case I think they have dibbs on it).

Sincerely,

Confused
