fox and maybe deer

CZ.

a mate of mine was telling me he is buying a 243 for fox when i asked why a 243 he said i mite get into shooting deer as well in a year or 2 do yous think he would get a licence for the 243 with out a deer licence i cant see this happening can yous

It wasn't me!

I've known several people with a .243 for foxing only, and if there's the possibility of shooting deer as well, it's the obvious choice. If it were a rifle to shoot deer and maybe foxes, I'd say .25-06 or .270, but at the lighter end, the .243 is an obvious and excellent choice.

Various parts. Some border areas, some south, one or two around me (north Wicklow), some down the south-east.

I know several lads as well with 243 s and no deer permits.

I use 58 grain v maxes on fox so its actually not that bad, but headshots can be pretty messy.

Your in Ireland Clive,
"yous" is a direct translation of the Gaelic pro noun "sibh", which mean yous and is plural not possesive so you's would not be correct.
