A bolt 22.250 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hi all. I've got the blue form to put in for another fire arms on my licence and I also want to apply for extra use of one of my riffels to be able to shoot small deer ie muntjac-Chinese water deer as the population is on the increase I can not see any wear on the form to to this! Is there a certon procedure for this. Also am I wright in thinking muntjac and chinese water deer are classed as vermin. Any info would be much appreciated.

CharlieT Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Tick the box marked variation. Apply for the change of condition on a seperate piece of paper if it's easier. No species of deer is classed as vermin. They are all covered by the deer act. Don't forget to send in land authority to shoot deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A bolt 22.250 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok thanks got that do I need to get written pomission from all my permissions specifying deer I always thought it was just permission to shoot with a certain caliber ?

Olliesims Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 You will find most police forces will not put deer down on your cert unless you have done your dsc1 coarse or you have evidence to prove you know how to gut and skin a deer through training from someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Since when has skinning a deer had anything to do with public safety or a FAC applicants suitability to own a firearm. Passing the DSC1 is not a prerequisite of having deer named as a quarry species on ones FAC and proficiency at skinning one most certainly is not.

Passing the DSC1 is not a prerequisite of having deer named as a quarry species on ones FAC and proficiency at skinning one most certainly is not. To have cwd and munt added to my conditions I had to either have a dsc1 or proof I knew how to to prepare a deer safely, as I had neither I was unable to have them added onto my cert, I was also commenting to the op about the statement of getting cwd and munt added, as most forces won't just add it as a condition without experience with deer in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I hope you challenged such a ridiculous, unlawful requirement and now have succeeded in having small deer added to your certificate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Olliesims, I don't think it's fair to say that most forces require a DCS 1 before allowing a deer shooting condition. If any force wanted me to take a course on skinning deer/any other way of making me prove I could do it, I'd tell them where to go with that idea, it's simply ridiculous. It's got nothing to do with public safety, nor has it got anything to do with 'good reason' for having a firearm, so it's not up to them to impose such conditions, and I'd challenge that.

A bolt 22.250 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Is it now legal to shoot small deer with a 22.250 also in question to one of the answers above if I get one of my permissions to allow me to shoot small deer on there land then that qualifies me to shoot small deer on the rest without specifying it. As regards to butchering deer I would hope they would take into account that I'm an ex farmer and allso owned an fac for the past 15 years.
