[QUOTE="taptap, post: 2228809, member: 35956"] In the [B]Netherlands[/B] only long guns are allowed for hunting, no handguns. [I]Roedeer[/I], our smallest big game animal: rifled barrel with a V100 of at least 980Joule (a .222 would make the cut) [I]Fallow deer, red deer[/I] and [I]wild pigs[/I] make up the rest the big game animals in the Netherlands, they require a rifled barrel, a caliber of at least 6,5mm and a v100 of 2200Joule [I]Mouflons[/I] (Ovis Orientalis) were introduced in the 18th century. They are now practically extinct in the wild as wolves recently migrated to the Netherlands. As far as I know they are not hunted anymore, some still live in a fenced off national park (hogeveluwe.nl) Rifles can be bolt-action or semi-auto but semi-auto has a two round magazine capacity limit. Lead-free ammo is your choice, encouraged or mandatory depending on where you hunt. Silencers are only allowed for professional gamewardens, non-professional hunters don't get silencer permits (This might change in the future but discussion is going on for more than ten years now) [/QUOTE]
