Ricky-N.p.p 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Folks I'v had my eye on some land wich has an emmence number of geese on it , so I approched the farm nearest to the feilds and asked if it would be ok to shoot them, the reply started off really well with "yes shoot as many as ye can....I hate the feckers".........followed by "but I dont own the land i only lease it". where do i stand with this one ?? any idea anyone ? thanks in advance Ricky Quote Link to post
wink hound 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 depends if anyone has the sporting rights or the right he is given in the lease, most tenented farms are ok apart from where someone else has the sporting rights, and where the are tenented from organisations like the national trust cheers wink Quote Link to post
Ricky-N.p.p 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 thats where it gets complicated ! the farmer i spoke to leases the land froman estate that leases shooting on the other side of the loch but not his side,,,,,,, feck knows why because his side is owned by the same people and the shooting would be far better ?

Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Facts-The tenant farmer only has the right to shoot,control, pests ,vermin on leased land.He can authorise or appoint someone else to do this duty but it must be made known to the landowner . The sporting rights however ,are not his unless agreed or paid for . Problems arise when a dispute over what is a pest occurs as in your situation .The farmer regards them as a pest but the landowner may regard them as revenue ?Best to see the landowner first mate .Good luck .

COMPO 54 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 cheers mate... doesnt look good then does it Depends how you explain it to the landowner, point out they are causing a nuisance and the tenant considers them a pest, and that they are causing damage to crops etc...also point out if you shoot at a few it may drive them towards the land that the landowner shoots over i think the tenant has some potential for a claim if they are causing damage and the landowner wont let him exercise pest control etc...
