Question

and if so what guns am i allowed to use and what is the standard hunt price?

Answer 1

nice try.

my only experience of haggis was when working in Edinburgh during a night out.

man, it sure cleared my system out the following morning.

Answer 2

Well that depends do you want the 3 legged or 4 legged haggis ???
the 4 legged are a rare breed you know run around the top of the hills the legs to the hillside r shorter than the other side so they dont fall off the mountain. But please be carefull hunting season dont start till Jan28th and you may be fined a large amount of money. Becarefull chasing the 4 legged ones you will get dizzy running round the hill tops as they are very fast .Best go for the low land 3 legged breed they are a lot slower. dont use a gun you will make a mess they are only little you know got to toss a caber or use a peashooter
happy hunting dont let the laird catch you on his land !

Answer 3

I hear there is good hunting in the Gorbals area. You are only allowed to use a cap gun, however, there are some calls you can use which will attract the haggi, such as "come ootathere ya weegiescum" "yirgittini yamankyweeshite".

There is no standard hunt price, but many of the natives will be willing to assist in the hunt for the small fee of 10 B&H and a bottle of the ever popular tonic wine.

Happy hunting! Oh and don't forget to pluck it before you cook it.

Answer 4

You get free range in the Cairngorms. The Uphill Haggis get a higher price than the Downhill Haggis and if you shoot a Crosshill Haggis you get a complementry bottle of Glenbollochs Single Malt.

Happy shooting.

Answer 5

Traditionally the wild haggis of Renfrewshire are not hunted with guns but with cabers that you have to throw at them. Then you send a wee mon in to fetch the haggis whilst stunned, and finish it off by feeding it clootie dumplings whilst it's in no state to know better. The Haggis can be located in it's natural habitat of purple heather anywhere near a stream of special brew lager, and has a distinctive cry of "See yu jimma, stitch that". Between April and June it is not legal to hunt haggis as this is their mating time and all bus shelters and back yards of pubs are closed to facilitate the breeding patterns of the haggis.
Amidst the purple heather the haggis is very hard to see in its natural camouflage of gaudy tartan and succesful hunts are few and far between as it is traditional for hunters to be "Totally Munterred". This is achieved by drinking at least a gallon of whisky on the morning before the hunt, though proper etiquette demands that ladies should drink only Bacardi and Tizer.
There is no actual fee for haggis hunting, though the cost of drinks is high. Meal costs are minimal as the great tradition is to eat only deep-fried Mars Bars for the time of the hunt,
Details of the haggis hunts are kept on the Scots Tourist Board website: www.pishedandwevegotchips.org.uk

Answer 6

You're out of luck, this is the "closed" season. Haggis hunting doesn't start till January 28th now, in Scotland.

Your best bet, if you have never hunted haggis before is to go with one of the organised parties which have the services of a "gillie" who knows the terrain.

All types of guns are allowed, many American visitors bring assault rifles with laser sights, etc.

Answer 7

You will have to arrange with a chef to prepare the haggis first. Then you will have to find a proper place that will allow you to shoot it. There is no restriction on what you can shoot it with so long as there is no legal restriction on the weapon itself. Tradition has it that the proper way to attack a Haggis is with a knife in a dining room. By the way, you can have my share!

Answer 8

I'm afraid the haggis is now an endangered species due to constant poaching, and from now on all haggis hunters can be persecuted with an unlimited fine and up to a 7 year custodial sentence.

It's a shame i know.

Answer 9

There's a range on the Island of Shags. The only guns not allowed are the staple and water guns. You best hurry and book, haggis are out of season january 13th...have fun!

Answer 10

Dont you know, Haggis have feelings as well, shooting haggis, like hunting for foxes has been banned, but if your ever in Edinburgh, try hunting around Princess Street, NEVER eat haggis with chips, always with Tatties and Neeps, and 30 year old pure MALT WHISKY. !!!

Answer 11

Because of intensive farming, the native Haggis is now confined to the Highlands of scotland and you have to buy a special permit to hunt them.
