Talk:Hunting and shooting in the United Kingdom

Ireland
Hunting remains unaffected by the Hunting Act 2004 in NI - it's a devolved matter for the NI Assembly, but has never to date been discussed. However, does anyone know the legislative situation in the Republic ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.102.23.117 (talk) 23:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC).
 * It is legal, although some aspects, e.g. the netting of hares for coursing and stag hunting require Government licences in various ways. The Republic is obviously not part of the the UK and so perhaps peripheral to this article. MikeHobday 12:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Could i please stress that this article in no ways covers the Republic of Ireland, but the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland is also covered, butmore information neds to be added to distrinquish the law from that of Northern Ireland.--Greenfinch100 15:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Name of article
This article (as stated in the lead) is about hunting and shooting in the UK, but to a British ear its title Hunting in the United Kingdom is misleading, as in the UK 'hunting' is distinct from 'shooting'. To those in the US, 'hunting' includes both, so this article has a US title for a UK subject. Does anyone object to a move to Hunting and shooting in the United Kingdom? Another approach might be to separate out shooting and to make a new article called Game shooting in the United Kingdom. Xn4 11:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support the former, at least until there is more information in the article. MikeHobday (talk) 19:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hunting lodge
The section on hunting lodge was originally at Shooting box. I should ahve mentioned this in my edit summary but forgot to sorry. LordVetinari (talk) 08:34, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Split out Hunting lodge
I propose that the section titled Hunting lodge should be split out to a new article.

The Scottish Highlands have plenty of hunting lodges, and there is a lot to be written about them. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I concur, and not just for Scotland... hunting lodges were built and used historically in many countries. Revent talk 11:15, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * There's already the article Jagdschloss; I think this article should be the section of a new article titled Hunting Lodge. The future article should contain also list of hunting lodges from other countries, so more research need to be done. As of now I only know hunting lodges from Germany, England, and Scotland; I bet there are more in Netherlands, France, etc.--Rochelimit (talk) 05:35, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
