Haha, hold your horses mate, they haven’t released the licenses yet, I’m betting they taste rank, we can’t even use them to bait foxes and if a fox won’t eat them I’m buggered if I would ?
-
Nobody has even mentioned the taking of pigeons for food which I find odd, I’d do it as if I was picking wild mushrooms for the table but as you say do it with a frown on your face ?

I hope people are listening to this, from what I can gather so far is they want to put a stop to sporting shooting, but if the GL says crop/livestock protection then carry on enjoying helping the farmers out even Avery made packham look like a tw*t, by saying the agreed on the management of the pest birds with the chap from the NFU And hanging crows off his gates just made me chuckle ?

Welcome, you have joined at a Fun time ??

That’s the old GL mate, the new ones will need to be the same or very similar, no farmer has time to do his own pest control so that’s why it needs to be a GL so the like of me and you can do it and it doesn’t tie farmers and keepers up in a load of red tape having to apply for cull licenses for individual animals and who they want to do this

I would of thought people will just carry on as they are, there isn’t the resources to police this -

We will have to wait and see what happens all I know is that whatever is put in place needs to be under a GL it will be mayhem if you have to apply for a license -
Terryd has posted the email an email in the rifle section that is very similar to the one I received last night if you want a look at it ?

To do it by the law the land owner still needs to apply for the personal pest control license -

Someone sent me Chris packham’s home address last night, if you would like to contact him to discuss the matter at length ? take a look at this topic in the air rifle section, I was sent an email last night and if it’s correct NE pulled the license for a good reason -
You better believe it, the little man never comes out on top ?

You would still need FAC for anything over 12, sad times
-
I know where you are coming from mate, I mentioned this earlier in the rifle section, I know it’s not always popular but this could be a case for licensing air rifles like in Scotland, as on the license it could state all legal quarry as it does on the SG or FAC and then you would be covered under the GL
-
Fingers crossed mate, reading the email the MP seems really switched on, I know the person who contacted the MP and they have said that NE have been court with there pants down, the original GL was not fit for purpose and now NE are taking advice from people who use the GL on a daily basis, I.E. farmers, keepers, I still think there could be some major changes to the legislation but we will have to wait and see, as far as I can work out the licenses will not all be released together and it will be a work in progress until they get it right I just hope that NE weren’t just blowing smoke up

I thought I would share this with you lot, I’m not sure on the legality of sharing the email that has just been passed to me so I won’t post it on here the email is from an MP from Yorkshire, he has been in talks with NE basc, countryside alliance and the NFU, in the email the MP states that NE pulled the GL because they were given legal advice that they would loose the case brought against them by the packham cranks, so as of midnight you can no longer shoot any birds, they are currently working on new general licenses that legally cover us all for what we do, each license will be specif

I was talking to someone earlier and he seems to think it will be reworded in some way, he brought up to points that I never thought of, firstly what if you were taking birds for food and secondly he thinks it will affect the air rifle lads because they are not licensed where as it states on my SG and FAC what they can be used for, it’s all a bit of a mess really, I can see us having to register for pest control and give the land we have permission on, but there’s no way on earth they could police this -
