Hi all, i am planning a wild camping trip at the end of April and need some advice.
The idea is to 'live off the land' as it is put and am not sure of the legality of trapping etc.
I have searched the net but there doesnt seem to be any clarification on the legal bits.
I do not like using air guns as i would not be confident of an instant kill every time, and the only trap as far as i can see that would kill instantly without suffering are deadfall traps like the figure four and paiute.
Are these legal if you have the land owners permission?
I know that certain snares are legal so i cant see a problem with deadfalls as i think they are a very humane way of killing, but just need some clarification.
