J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) It is illegal to enter a terrier to ground, without written permission being carried. However, written permission is not needed for dogs that are to be used for retrieving and /or to be used in conjunction with a gun. Incidentally shooters are not legally required to carry written permission. Edited to correct. Edited October 6, 2015 by J Darcy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samboy 314 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I have letters of permissions and i always carry them with me. It may not be compulsory but in my mind it just saves a lot of grief, ie waking the farmers up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 It is illegal to hunt with a dog, lurcher or terrier, without written permission being carried. However, written permission is not needed for dogs that are to be used for retrieving and /or to be used in conjunction witha gun. Incidentally shooters are not legally required to carry written permission. Could you show me the statute that says that please? As that is a new one on me.

I can see the benfits of have written documents.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 That's a new one on me aswell JD. Not saying you are wrong. Just never heard it before. I thought permission was permission. Obviously as said above written can clear things up quicker and save farmer being disturbed by plod. But I didn't know it was a legal requirement. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 OK, It seems I have gotten confused. It is just terrierwork that needs written permission to be carried at all times. I shall amend my earlier post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 when talking to Clive Rees about 8 years ago I was asking him questions about this matter and as far as I'm aware , verbal agreement is all that's needed and if you put it in writing then its best to write as litttle as possible, ie, has permission to take all legal quarry using legal means, that way your not only confined to dogs and lamps, or rifles or what ever is stated on written permission Clive gave me the same advice. Keep it very brief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fly The Boy 339 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Never had written permission in my life, and I wouldn't ask farmer for written permission, farmer round here would think you were getting ready for fraudulent claim,, ferret some of the biggest horse studs in the country,,farmer and the horse men give me number on phone and when I ring it gate opens and they always get a call from me before I plan to go to hunt,,,,,farmer telling the job you done on the rabbits on their farm to other land owners gets me all the permission I could ever want,,,only 3 of us go and I know I can trust them with my life....
