unclestuffy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Forgive my ignorrance but I thought that the "selling of game" licence had been removed from the Statute - or is it still in the plannign stage. Will ask my legal friend for some more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclestuffy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Got this e-mail from my friend: The Game Act 1831 amendments were changed in The Regulatory Reform (Game) (England & Wales) Order 2007 - so you still need a licence in Scotland. Best page is that of Countryside Alliance http://www.countryside-alliance.org.uk/sho...es)-order-2007/ Hope this helps?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Sounds like he has been caught without having the Wild Game Meat Hygiene qualification then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 stuartp i think you are correct on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 That is an offence if you are selling to the general public but not if you are a shoot selling to a dealer at present anyway. I have two Hygene certs, one for deer and one for pheasant etc. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 If its through the back door and the estate doesnt know ? Then its theft as well as game and meat handling . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
