If like me you are a bit slack and have got plenty of permission, but haven't got round to getting the landowners written permission here's a start for you..

Just a thought, hope it helps.. :)

authorise the above to control foxes and other wild mammals in accordance with Schedule 1, Paragraph 2 of the Hunting Act 2004, which is summarised below.

Signed: ..............................................................

Dated: ...............................................


This permits the use of a single dog below ground to flush out wild mammals solely for the purpose of preventing or reducing serious damage to game birds or wild birds being kept or preserved to be shot.

The person must carry with them written permission and intend to shoot the wild mammal as soon as possible after it is flushed.

All reasonable steps must be taken to prevent risk or injury to the dog and manner in which the dog is used must comply with the following code:

• The terrier’s role is to locate and flush the animal, not to fight with it

• Only terriers which stand back and bark are to be used

• Care must be taken to ensure the safety of those involved and to minimise the risk of injury to either the terrier or the wild mammal

• The terrier’s time below ground must be kept as short as possible

• The terrier must always be fitted with an electronic locator

• Once it is determined the terrier is trapped, assistance must be given to release it immediately

Notes: Nothing other than nets may be placed over entrance / exit holes during the flushing. It is not permitted to use a terrier to locate, dig down to and locate the quarry. But if the dog is removed, relocated, secured and not used again, then the quarry may be dug down to and dispatched.

The hunting of rabbits and rats is exempt from the above, but does require the landowner or occupier’s permission.

If you copy and paste this onto word, print it out and get it signed by your landowner, you'll be heading in the right direction of abiding to this law. :good:

Exellent advice for anyone mate .Should anyone feel the need to "stretch" the law and finds themselves in a sticky situation, without the written permission, you can be sure that other charges of perhaps poaching or armed trespass will be added until the matter is resolved [or not].

[Jaggsy]

Yep sound .. and i do like that footnote

[nelson]

Just a question for any body who knows the law on this,do you have to have the land OWNERS written permission,or the shoot owners if it's keepered land,'cos the two aren't always the same.
Also,what about tennant farmers,do they have to ask the various estate offices as well ?

Not trying to be a smart arse,but i dont want to be on the wrong side of the law :ph34r:

[ChrisJones]

My understanding is that it's the land occupier. As long as it's writing from the occupier then it's fine.

Get it in writing though. Can't stress that enough. The terrier lads have to carry their written permission by law.

Cheers matey

Handy letter there, but just to make clear: It is NOT a legal requirement to have written permission to hunt rabbits.

It is not permitted to use a terrier to locate, dig down to and locate the quarry. But if the dog is removed, relocated, secured and not used again, then the quarry may be dug down to and dispatched.

can [BANNED TEXT] explain this i dont understand what it means

[skycat]

You can dig to your terrier if it is stuck in a tube, in order to release it. Make of that what you will!
