    Hi i'm Mick and live in Yorkshire in the north of England.

    I shoot a (see my username) only at targets as it's illegal to shoot animals over here.
    Shame I love venison.

    Plenty of good tips and info on here so i'll stick around for a while. :)

    Welcome Mick! I just recently joined this forum and have been pleased with all the information on here. Good group of people too.

    & what's this about not being able to hunt in England??

    Incredible. I read once that in the old days if any one was caught hunting the "kings deer" they were hung with the very string on their bow. No one was allowed to hunt but the King. Any truth to that?

    It was the law at the time, poaching was very big and so were the penalties.

    That was, of course, way before my time. I live very close to Barnsdale and Loxley but Robin Hood is long gone ;)

    Lol that was way before anyone's time my friend. Realistically that was probably before the time of everyone here combined.
