Hunting in the UK with a slingshot is legal (and NO you don't need a licence, unlike firearms), although you MUST always go for a kill shot. If you keep wounding animals you could be arrested for cruelty, so you must make sure you are a bloody good shot.......I must point out that using a slingshot to fire arrows for hunting is illegal as it would then be classed as a bow/crossbow, which is illegal to hunt with in this country......

thank you very much for the information! I dream of a short stay in a country where I can hunt me my lunch!
I think it's interesting that I get along without a supermarket! in Germany, I would get with this holiday problems.
I am a good shot! and my brother a good butcher and a good shot!

bring some food cans. with you. Slingshot hunting is such an azard. Once day you can have two or tree god hits, the day after you can miss the very possible. And if you are hungry everithing is worst )
