Hunting legality in the UK is interesting.

Can you easily summarize what is legal and what's not ?

Is it uniform over the entire UK or does it vary by country (England, Scotland...)

I don't really plan to hunt there soon, but it is interesting to know.

Does the ban on hunting correspond to fear of public gun ownership ?

If so, is bow hunting, or other non-firearm hunting allowed ?

Even though firearms are nearly universally allowed across the US, bow hunting is still popular. Bow hunters are usually rewarded with a season that opens earlier than the season for firearms.
