walshie Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 My 308 is conditioned for deer and AOLQ. With a bit of luck I'm shortly going to have somewhere to shoot that has boar on the land. Is there such a thing as a boar condition or does AOLQ cover it? Cheers.

Luckyshot Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Aolq will cover it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) It covers it as there is no legalized round yet set out by the police only a recommendation of 270 and above when i put in for my 308 for boar the FAO said he put on my ticket for Deer stalking as there is no caliber set out yet for Boar i think it made it easier for himself Edited October 12, 2017 by Rim Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Sorry to be the voice of dissent but i thought when AOLQ 1st came out boar weren't included and had to be entered separately (bit like vermin not in foxes) Possibly its changed but I'd double check with basc or firearms dept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.5x55SE Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 There is no legalized caliber as yet to shoot Boar so AOLQ covers it Not with my Firearms Department as people would/have used eg 22 hornet. So they will put Deer Boar AND AOLQ. Personally i would not wish to lose my ticket as there is good reason just get Boar added very simple.

This is the trouble with Firearms Departments they dont all sing from the same hymn sheet i was told by mine i could shoot them with a .22 if i wanted and would not be breaking the law it would be frowned on but i wouldn't be breaking the law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipdog Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 If that was the case shouldn't the ops read AOLQ except boar +1 if your certificate says you can use a firearm to shoot all legal quarry that's exactly what it means. If your not breaking any laws you have no need to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 +1 if your certificate says you can use a firearm to shoot all legal quarry that's exactly what it means. If your not breaking any laws you have no need to worry. Exactly. A quick read of the "Guidance" will confirm this is the case................ 10.48 There is no requirement to establish ‘good reason’ for additional conditions or the addition of quarry species to an existing condition where ‘good reason’ already exists for the possession of a firearm in the first instance (See chapter 13). Firearms should be conditioned to provide flexibility with quarry shooting by allowing all lawful quarry (see Appendix 3). 13.9 A certificate holder may shoot any quarry that is lawful (where they are authorised to shoot). Whilst guidance is provided, it is the responsibility of the shooter and the shooting community to know what calibre is suitable for which quarry, and when certain quarry is lawful (including the need to obtain or rely upon a licence from the relevant licensing authority to permit the shooting of protected species). Once initial “good reason” has been established for the possession of a firearm, there is no requirement for “good reason” to be demonstrated for additional quarry species or amendments providing the firearms are not underpowered for the species (see also paragraph 13.17). A cartridge should be capable of achieving a humane kill, and it is the responsibility of the shooter to ensure that any excess energy will be absorbed by the backstop. The “any other lawful quarry” condition (which also covers protected species that the certificate holder is licensed to shoot) should be applied. If an applicant is suitable to hold a firearm certificate and is deemed safe to do so, there is no requirement to restrict the quarry they shoot by the use of conditions imposed on the individual’s firearm certificate.

Dekers Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 As CharlieT in #14. ALQ or AOLQ is exactly what it says, it DOES NOT EXCLUDE Boar or anything else unless it says AOLQ EXCEPT XXXXX! Boar appeared on my FAC until AOLQ turned up at a renewal, and with great consternation I immediately rang my region to ask what had happened to Boar etc., and was told in no uncertain terms AOLQ means EXACTLY what it says, we don't have to list everything anymore!
