Blackpowder Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Recently myself and several other committee members of our angling association had a meeting with my SNP MSP to clear up some points about the ongoing, Wild Fisheries Review. Predator control came into the discussion which edged of into corvid control. The MSP was of the opinion you needed a license, not the general license, but something above this to shoot crow species. I have been shooing rooks and crows for many years and always assumed they were on the general license. I do know that a license is required to operate Larsen and other crow traps but as to shooting rooks and carrion crows, the occasional jay and the odd magpie have I been breaking the law?

robbiep Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 As usual, politicians with no knowledge of the law. http://www.snh.gov.uk/docs/A1481496.pdf Furthermore, even in the Socialist Peoples Republic of Scotland you do NOT require a licence to operate Larsen or other types of traps. The requirements you do need to follow are also detailed on the GL, including tags to carry information and identifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
