raynardman 518 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just depends what part of the country you live in to see whether they are on the pest list then all you need is what they call a general licence and cull them under the certain criteria. General licences can be found on a link BASC site and then be printed off when you've found the correct one. While your on there you might aswell see what other pests you come across and print off as necessary. Take it along with you when you do the cull and along with the landowners permission you'll be OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millet 4,497 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I thought canada's could be shot all year around without a licence with them being a none indigenous pest species.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
