Deker 3,453 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) General Licence to kill Magpies for the purpose of conserving wild birds. Just got a job come in for this, I've searched NE site and struggling to find anything. Can someone tell me if there is a new GL for the above purpose or do I still need to apply for an individual licence. Cheers! Edited June 6, 2019 by Deker Quote Link to post

No, as it stands there is no GENERAL licence to control magpie in any way for any reason. Therefore you will have to apply for an individual licence. Quote Link to post

You can then continue with the Pest Issue if it is urgent, even before you receive a yes or no reply. You can't carry on simply because your FAC says you can deal with XY or Z pests!

Meece 1,957 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I can see a situation where when people apply for a new shotgun certificate, plod/foe will ask " what do you shoot with your shotgun sir " ? When you say, vermin; they will say "where is your general license" ? ( if a licence is / has been issued or available )! So..... Sorry sir, you cant have a new cert because you haven't got a valid reason for having it. The only valid reason is sport shooting of clays , controlling rabbits foxes or wildfowling with appropriate ammunition. As usual basic reckon their on the case but as usual they are a total waste of time because they have no influence or leverage on anything. Total waste of time and money. Is Gove feared of them ? Is he f**k. Quote Link to post
