Terrie 12 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hello there i was wondering if any one can help i have a wee question. I live in scotland and i went out with the ferrets today to bot the rabbits to the dogs. I was stopped by the local police who said a member of the public had phoned "to make sure it was legal". The police man had said that he did'nt know much about the law regarding this. But went on to say that he thought i would need a game licence. Now The question i have is why would i need one as rabbits are vermin? Thanks Terrie. Quote Link to post
Guest jbswildlife Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 rabbits are not game so no law aids it. but you should always carry permission letter with you Quote Link to post
chester 147 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 hunting rabbits with hounds is legal but rabits have bin reclassed as game so by rights you should have a gamelicence as far as no. pleed dumb as fas as that is concerned its vermin. Quote Link to post
Terrie 12 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi thanks I did have a letter with permission with me but the police still wouldnt let it go ahead as he said he wasnt to sure about the law. He did however phone the keeper that i got the permission from and he verified that i was allowed. He said he couldnt stop us from going on but said he didnt want us too. He did take all our details and said that he was going to check up on the law. thats why i was asking thanks Terrie Quote Link to post
