john b 38 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Extract from BASC The Government is proposing to abolish the game licence and game dealer's licence as part of an overhaul of the outdated game laws. The planned changes will first undergo a period of consultation. No change to the law is expected until after the 2006/7 shooting season. People intending to shoot game or deer on unenclosed land should therefore renew their game licence for the coming season. I've just bought mine. A lot of people don't bother You don't need it for pests I don't think (pigeon, rabbit etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Word to the wise, lads? Get out and get your Game Lisences Now! Need 'em or not. I was in a pub today. On the wall they had a framed selection of various denomination Irish Pound Notes. I was fasinated and charmed by them. Obsolete and useless. But the pleasure of seeing them Saddest words we can ever exchange is, " Do you remember ....? " Answered by; " God, yes! I wish I'd kept hold of one " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 you don`t need it for rabbits do you. Only if you're going to sell them on. You don't need one to control as they're under a different law to other game animals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest A Sick Old Man Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/c...xt/41110w03.htm http://www.defra.gov.uk/rds/publications/t...20game%20act%22 Have a look at the two links, I do not think you need a game licence if you are engaged in pest control. But rabbits are classed as Game at night, so I have a full game licence, only six quid just for a bit of peace. It goes back to 1829 poaching act, funny how these old acts are still in force.
