Wildfowler 30-06

It's on its way now, along with my SGC renewal which is 8 months late and my FAC grant. It really is a joke!

That's what most first time "closed" tickets are like now. I don't know of anyone limited to one bit of land. Thanks for the info. I know a few guys a while back were restricted to only the land they had with their application and had to send in the written permission for new permissions gained so they could be added to their ticket. But then I know Essex can be a little over zealous with their conditions! We will see when it turns up I guess! Essex are the slowest force in the country at the moment. I think having to add each new piece of land to a ticket was becoming a pain in the arse

It might just be Essex I'm not sure, but I'm about to be granted my FAC (had the interview and they emailed last week saying its on its way), but they have granted every thing from 17hmr to 30-06 on a first application but it's a 'semi open' ticket. I can use rifles only on land that has been cleared up to that calibre. I'm not restricted only to the land that I have written permission for and used for my application, but neither can I use the rifles where only I deem suitable. (I think that makes sense) Does anyone else have experience of this?

Welcome! - brother in-law! ?

Just a quick introduction... I'm an avid wildfowler and have been for almost 20 years. I shouldergun on the saltings virtually every week throughout the season and get out punt gunning when the tide and weather permits. I pigeon shoot in the summer with both my sons (12 & coming along with their guns. I've more recently started deer stalking and have completed my DSC1 and am now in the process of obtaining DSC2. Hopefully I'm able to contribute to the wildfowling pages but also learn from the stalking ones!
