Hi all,

 

My question is, is there a maximum number of licence holders a land owner can have down to shoot his land?

 

Hope that makes sense

 

Cheers

 

its more down to the firearms officer than the landowner, a place near me charges a £100 per year to shoot, alot of people tried putting it down just to get there FAC, but the FAO put a stop to it, of course, if your talking shotguns, then Id say no limit

I went to a farm where I've had permission since I was a lad, used to go there with the air rifle, in recent years I've just gone with the lurchers, lamping mainly. Not many rabbits but see a few foxes. Anyway thought I'd ask about putting him down on my fac application and he said there is already 3 people with fac's down on his land and he also wants to apply himself as he's having trouble with dogs worrying his livestock.

Do you think its worth asking the FEO and see what he says???

I wont shoot on land with more than one other close friend I used to shoot on one small farm where the farmer let all most any one shoot it was like being in sniper ally ,as two people got drooped off as they didn't drive then you never knew who was there bl@@dy dangerous

 

Deershooter

i agree, one permission i had and only went for one visit when i found out that every man and his dog were on there at some point or other, if it's my perm then i make sure i'm the only one out there, heard some mad stories about people being run off at gun point by other shooters for alledged poaching.

Answer

 

NO!

 

Lots of other issues you may want to consider/debate and lots of scenarios your region may be interested in, but the answer to the question is NO!

the landowner will allow it as long as it doesn't hinder him when applying for his licence, during the winter months I go once a week or maybe once a fortnight with the lurcher lamping and I've never seen anyone else on the land lamping.

I'm thinking the more land I can put down on the application the more it will aid in me getting it, I don't necessarily have to shoot there

You only need one piece of land permission for an FAC application, keeps it nice and simple too so more likely to be dealt with sooner.
