Chapter 2: GAME SHOOTING SEASON IN THE UK
First of all, something to be aware of. According to the Game Act 1831, any person who shall kill or take any game (including hare, pheasants, partridge, grouse) or use any dogs, gun, net or any other instrument to kill game on a Sunday or Christmas Day will be convicted under the Criminal Law Act 1977.
It is also a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice Act 1982 to pursue any game outside of their shooting season. If you are seen shooting game outside of the season, you will be convicted and, as part of your punishment, you will have to pay a sum of money for every head of game killed.
