Is it permitted in the UK?

Yes but they leave slimey trails all over the coat of the boar.

If you meant to ask can you shoot boar with solid slug in this country then the answer is yes. However some forces are reluctant to grant permission for this and prefer you to use a rifle of suitable calibre.

South Yorkshire?
Should I ask the FAO?
I heard something about a proposed boar cull in Wales? How can You volunteer?

I don't know where that came from but I'm fairly sure that you have been misinformed. Boar are coming over into Monmouthshire from the Forest of Dean and into southern Powys from Herefordshire but not in any great numbers as yet as far as I know. There is a cull on in the FoD but that is on FC ground and is carried out by their rangers and no help is required.

You can always try your firearms department for the necessary permission but they will require evidence that you have a need before granting the necessary variation.

(Slug slimey little creatures without shells that leave slime trails).

Is there a place where You can hunt boar in the UK? (Paying for it)

I've met some right pigs in Sheffield. Nearly had to call-in mortars.

I find your comment offensive.

Are you a confirmed ugly female and from Sheffield? Or are you just being "offended on behalf of others"? Or do you simply lack a sense of humour?
