T-Bolt94 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have been reading on various websites that to sell game to restaurants, pubs etc you are required to have a hunters ID and a certificate of wild game meat handling. I can't seem to find any definitive answers everything seems to contradict the other. I also cannot find any courses in NI like what are available in the rest of the UK. Can anybody shed any light on this? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastiebap Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Off the top of the head you need a game dealers license to sell any wild game in NI. I have a notion that it is covered in the wildlife act (although I could be wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bolt94 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 See this is where my confusion is, BASC state all game licenses have been abolished allowing the sale of game, then they say you must have a trained hunters ID to sell game. What is wrong with simplicity and transparency! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is wrong with simplicity and transparency! I think it was the game license to shoot game (the one from the post office) that was done away with. There is certainly nothing in the firearms legislation that states you must have a trained hunters ID, not something I think is in the wildlife act either. The only new legislation that might cover it (that i'm aware of) is the Criminal Justice act, but other than ages for shooting and one on one offs extended, I don't recall any game related articles slotted into it.
