Applying for a c/f for deer

[rapid basher]

Right were do I start. Two years ago I applied

For a hmr /22lr/ and a 243 for fox

I got granted the 22lr and 17hmr they would only

Grant me a 243 under mentoring conditions.

Which I turned down has I did not have anyone to mentor me

 

I now have lots a permissions with roe deer on now

And would like a c/f

What would be the best options

4/5 stalks with written letters of approved

Stalkers with a odd picture throwed in?

 

Or a dsc1 which I don't want to do has I am not best of readers and

Spellers As you can see from lots of my past posts lol

 

By the way this would be under avon and somerset

And have herd that mentoring conditions have stopped

You've got 2 years rimmy experience now and you have land with deer on it, so there's no reason why they shouldn't grant a .243 as you have good reason & experience. I'd just put in for it with a letter of permission from the landowner, assuming he still has the deer rights and not sold them on...?

 

That said, I've done the DSC1 and would really recommend it. You aren't marked on reading or spelling, but it does teach you a lot more about the deer species and their management. I think it was well worth the money and it can only aid the granting of a deer calibre rifle in the long run.

 

As I understand it, mentoring conditions have stopped everywhere.

Wondered if they"d let me use my iphone

For answers I mean spell check

 

Seriously I waited 8 mouths for my fac

So I only have just over year experience

And for that time to go fru agin I wouldn't

Want them to say no (best option)

 

How long would a dsc1 take ? Days hours?

Best get a mentor.

If not do the DSC1.

There's no point of law saying you have to and if you appeal against a decision you will win and they know it.

You will be tied up without your ticket for about a year while you appeal though.

[rapid basher]

I do have a mentor now

But just seeing if could push the point

Get it with out the condition

And as said almost 95%shure it's stoped

Use your mentor, after 3 months he/she can write a letter in saying you're competent and their name is removed.

DSC1 is worth doing mine was a 4days, as said in a earlyer post your not mark on spelling, and its all mulitpul chocie to, why not do both. The mores reasons you have, the less chance they FLO will say no

There are lots of level 1 providers some will do a 2 day course over a weekend. You can do assessment only and learn the stuff yourself (as I did) but you might find it easier with some teaching.

 

Honestly anyone serious about shooting deer then the Level 1 is a no-brainer. You will learn loads and you need a trained hunter number if you want to sell meat into the food chain.
