WHAT DOES SHOOTING BOX MEAN IN ENGLISH?

shooting box

Hunting and shooting in the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom hunting without qualification generally refers to hunting with hounds-normally fox hunting, beagling, stag hunting or Mink-hunting-whereas shooting is the shooting of game birds. What is called deer hunting elsewhere is deer stalking. Hunting and shooting have been practised for many centuries and, in some areas, are a part of British rural culture. Opponents of hunting and of shooting dispute how deep and cultural the roots of hunting and shooting are in modern rural culture. As of 2012 game shooting and deer stalking are practised in the UK. Hunting with hounds in the traditional manner became illegal in 2002 in Scotland and 2005 in England and Wales, but continues on Northern Ireland. Following a trail rather than a live quarry subsequently grew in importance. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation says that over a million people a year participate in shooting, including game shooting, clay shooting and target shooting.
