What caused this damage?

You can shoot them with a shotgun , under certain conditions . If that is your want.

I'd rather shoot them with my .223

[Pinkfoot]

That should leave a mark..

... but the ammunition that fills that bill requires a FAC doesn't it? Or do you mean humane dispatch

[spandit]

It's not something I'd like to condone and the BDS, for example, is against the practice. Plenty of rifle shooters around that can do the job, humanely, for free

I'm hoping to find out soon but haven't got it back yet

No. You can use AAA shotgun pellets for any size dear , if they are doing damage . You have to have written permission or be the landowner and they must only be shot on the land where they are doing damage.

It is designed to help farmers out.

Not all places are suitable for rifles.

That's what high seats are for!

 

Although there is provision for shotgun use in the deer act, it would leave someone potentially open to prosecution if they can't conclusively prove that the deer were causing damage. Personally, I think rifles are more humane and there are many who agree with me.

 

Going to check the camera shortly to see if it's spotted anything...
